We present the upgrade set Quickboost QB48464 Sea Vixen FAW.9 air intakes designed for the Airfix 1/48 scale model. This is a high-quality complete set of air intakes, hand-cast from precise resin, dedicated to military aviation enthusiasts and modelers specializing in British Cold War designs.

The Sea Vixen FAW.9 was a two-seat carrier-based fighter of the Royal Navy, operating primarily from Royal Navy aircraft carriers. This aircraft made its combat debut in the late 1950s, and its main period of activity was during the Cold War (1959-1972). The Sea Vixen took part in patrol and reconnaissance missions, as well as providing air support for British military interventions, including during the Aden Crisis. Thanks to its distinctive tail design and for its time – modern armament, it became an icon of British naval aviation of that era.

• Material: High-quality resin, enabling the finest details and providing easy handling for modelers.
• Compatibility: Dedicated for the Sea Vixen FAW.9 model by Airfix.

The Quickboost air intakes significantly enhance the realism of the model, eliminating the issue of simplified details from the basic Airfix kit. Each part features very distinct panel lines, proper internal details, and perfectly replicated aerodynamic shapes. The resin responds well to standard modeling techniques, which makes assembly straightforward.

We recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers who want to elevate their model to a higher level of detail and get as close as possible to the original. The assembly difficulty is rated 2/5 – it requires precision and fitting, but the manufacturer ensured easy integration with the base model. It's an excellent choice for fans of British aviation and collectors of Cold War aircraft wishing to give their model a unique, realistic appearance.
