Spitfire Mk.I exhaust for Tamiya, 1/48 - Quickboost QB48 866

Quickboost QB48 866 is a resin detailing accessory for scale models of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I Tamiya 1/48. It lets you replace the exhausts included in the plastic kit with parts specifically made for this replica.

The Spitfire Mk.I is one of the first operational versions of the famous British fighter, the Supermarine Spitfire—particularly associated with the Battle of Britain. The exhaust outlets are a highly visible detail on the engine cowling flanks and help achieve realism in an aircraft model’s finish.

Because these resin parts require careful preparation before installation: remove them from the casting block, lightly trim away mold lines, and clean the parts. A glue suitable for resin is needed. Painting can then be done using metallic shades, heat-tinted variations, and a light weathering to recreate the look of exhausts on an in-service aircraft.
