Defiant Mk.I exhaust-rounded for Airfix, 1/72 - Quickboost QB72 482

The reference Quickboost QB72 482 is a detailing accessory for the Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I Airfix 1/72 scale model. It replicates the Defiant Mk.I’s exhaust outlets with rounded ends and fits into a model-building project dedicated to this British aircraft.

The Boulton Paul Defiant was a British fighter used during the Second World War. Its silhouette is particularly recognizable thanks to its armed dorsal turret, a feature that makes it a favourite subject among specialized military aviation modelers.

This Quickboost set allows you to replace the exhausts supplied with the compatible Airfix kit. At 1/72 scale, each part remains small: careful preparation, precise removal from the sprue, and proper gluing with modelling accessories are recommended. A dry fit test before gluing helps you check the alignment on the fuselage sides.

For the finish, the exhausts can be painted separately before installation or added after the main paintwork, depending on the assembly method you choose. Metallic shades, heat-tinted or darkened tones, combined with a light weathering, help recreate the look of heat-affected areas on a military aircraft model.
