About product

FOD and RBF covers for the Jaguar GR.1/GR.1a (Quickboost, 1:48)

A set cast in resin that you add to a finished model of the Airfix Jaguar GR.1/GR.1a in 1:48 scale. This is not an airplane kit: it is an accessory that changes the mood of the whole display case, turning a machine ready for takeoff into an aircraft parked on the ramp, secured and watched over by ground crew.

What FOD and RBF covers are

On real aircraft, FOD covers are fitted over the engine air intakes so that no foreign object (a screw, a stone, a tool) can get in and wreck the compressor. The Remove Before Flight items, the red tags and safety pin covers, have to be taken off before takeoff; they hang from the landing gear locks, the probes and the pyrotechnic safety pins. For a model this means two things at once: safety reality and a strong splash of color that gives the eye somewhere to go.

How to work with the accessory

  • First wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water: this removes the mold release residue and paint holds better.
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutter, not by snapping; level the surface with a file.
  • Sand the resin wet and with respiratory protection: resin dust must not be inhaled.
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); ordinary polystyrene cement does not hold on resin.
  • Use a primer before painting; the red items stand out against a contrasting surface.

Who the set is for

For modelers who are building the Jaguar in 1:48 scale and want to display it in a ground or diorama scene, with the intakes covered and the tags fluttering. Working with resin assumes at least basic experience with accessory parts.

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit in its own right. The base model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a resin accessory, a set of covers and tags that you add to a finished Jaguar model in 1:48 scale. You have to have the model itself.

Super glue (cyanoacrylate). Polystyrene cement does not attack resin and the joint would not hold.

For the Airfix Jaguar GR.1/GR.1a in 1:48 scale. On other kits the shape of the intakes and the mounting may differ.
