F-4 Phantom II air intake covers f.Acade, 1/48 - Quickboost QB48 615

The Quickboost QB48 615 is a resin detailing set for F-4 Phantom II scale models at 1/48 by Academy. It reproduces intake covers, also known as air intake guards or FOD covers.

These parts allow you to depict a Phantom II parked on the ground, with its air intakes protected. They provide an interesting finishing option for a display on a base, in a diorama, or on a model aircraft shown in a parking area.

Assembly and finishing

Resin parts require careful preparation before assembly. Gentle cleaning removes any possible mould-release residues, then the casting sprues can be separated and refined using suitable tools. Assembly is done using glue compatible with resin.

Painting separately before the final installation can make it easier to treat areas near the air intakes. Decoration can then be adapted to the specific F-4 Phantom II project you are building.
