1:48 Mk.XXXI Bomb Raks Boeing F4B

Mk.XXXI bomb racks for the Boeing F4B (1:48, Clear Prop Models)

A detail accessory cast in resin from Clear Prop Models in 1:48 scale. It is not an airplane model but a set of accurate Mk.XXXI bomb racks with which you replace or supplement the parts on a kit of the Boeing F4B biplane. The resin execution offers sharper detail than injection-molded plastic. The accessory is intended for an F4B model in this scale, for example for the kit from Clear Prop Models.

Use and fitting

• First wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue.
• Cut the casting blocks off with a sharp scalpel or a fine saw and sand the surfaces down.
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate): ordinary cement for plastic does not hold on resin.
• Lay a primer on the resin before painting; sand with respiratory protection.

Who the accessory is for

For modelers who are building the Boeing F4B in 1:48 scale and want to raise the fidelity of the armament with finer resin racks. Working with resin calls for a certain dexterity, so the accessory suits more experienced builders.

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base model, paints and glue are not included in the package. Use a respirator and ventilate when sanding resin.
