Quickboost QB48460 F/A-18E/F Super Hornet ECS Pipes - Early Version (Hasegawa 1/48)

Quickboost QB48460 F/A-18E/F Super Hornet ECS pipes - early v. Hasegawa 1/48 is a high-quality detail set designed specifically for 1/48 scale Hasegawa plastic models of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet multirole fighter. This professional set, meticulously crafted in resin, allows for realistic reproduction of the early versions of the ECS (Environmental Control System) pipes, featuring details unattainable with the factory parts of the kit.

The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a modern American supersonic multirole aircraft that has been one of the mainstays of United States Navy (US Navy) aviation from the 1990s to the present day. The Super Hornet, an evolution of the well-known F/A-18C/D Hornet, took part in operations such as "Iraqi Freedom" and "Enduring Freedom," operating primarily from Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.

Quickboost QB48460 is an aftermarket accessory made from high-grade resin, characterized by sharply defined details and dimensional compatibility with Hasegawa kits. The set does not require complex modifications to the fuselage and allows easy replacement of the factory components with much more accurate parts. The resin ECS pipes in this version replicate the early appearance of the aircraft’s cabin pressure vent system inlets.
