F-4B Phantom II tail fin cap - late for TAMIYA, 1/48 - Quickboost QB48 998

Quickboost QB48 998 is a detailing accessory designed for the McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II Tamiya 1/48 scale model kit. This reference reproduces the upper part of the fin, also known as the tail fin cap, in a late (“late”) configuration.

This part lets you customize or complete the vertical fin of a 1/48-scale F-4B Phantom II model. It is intended for modelers who want to work with a fin-top configuration identified as late for the compatible Tamiya kit.

The F-4B Phantom II

The F-4 Phantom II is a twin-engine, twin-seat jet fighter developed by McDonnell. The F-4B is one of the earliest operational versions of this aircraft, used in the context of the U.S. Navy. Its unmistakable silhouette—two engines, lateral air intakes, and an imposing tail fin—makes it a major subject in 1/48 aircraft modeling.

Assembly and finishing

As with any detailing accessory, it is recommended to prepare the part carefully before installation: detach it, lightly remove any flash, and do a dry fit to the model. Proper glue for detailing parts is required. Applying a primer before painting will make it easier to check the surface and achieve a smooth, consistent finish that matches the rest of the aircraft.

Paint, markings, and weathering effects should be selected according to the chosen F-4B decoration.
