P-40B Warhawk air intake f.Airfix, 1/48 - Quickboost QB48 864

Quickboost QB48 864 is a resin detailing accessory for the Curtiss P-40B Warhawk Airfix model in 1/48 scale. It reproduces the aircraft’s air intake and allows you to work with a dedicated part for this distinctive area of the engine cowling.

The P-40B Warhawk is among the early versions of Curtiss’s American fighter, the Curtiss P-40, a aircraft used during World War II. At 1/48 scale, the real subject’s dimensions are reduced 48 times—a format appreciated for the balance between display finesse and the space it occupies in the showcase.

This Quickboost reference is designed to complement the corresponding Airfix plastic kit. As with any resin accessory, it’s recommended to carefully detach the part from its molding sprue, remove any traces of the casting gate, and check the fit “dry” before gluing. Gently washing the resin part before painting also helps ensure good surface preparation.

The part can be used in a standard build or as part of a super-detailed project for the P-40B. Using a cyanoacrylate glue suitable for resin, along with a model primer, makes assembly and finishing easier.
