Quickboost QB72624 British Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 Radar Warning Receiver for Airfix 1/72

The Quickboost QB72624 British Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 Radar Warning Receiver upgrade set is a high-quality accessory designed for 1/72 scale plastic models by Airfix. It is intended for British multi-role fighter models, the McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 and FGR.2, which served with the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.

The FG.1 and FGR.2 are variants of the renowned Phantom II fighter, tailored to meet British requirements and featuring aviation technology from the Cold War era (1960s and 1970s). These aircraft were used during the heightened tensions between East and West, serving both in the air defense of the United Kingdom and in naval operations aboard Ark Royal and Eagle class aircraft carriers. They were equipped with specialized electronics, with a key component being the advanced radar warning receiver system.

The Quickboost QB72624 set precisely replicates the Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), an essential part of the Phantom’s defensive systems. It was mounted on the fuselage spine in a distinctive, highly visible form. This add-on allows your model to achieve a much higher level of fidelity to the real aircraft, greatly increasing the level of detail.
