Quickboost QB48448 Yak-38 Forger Correct Vertical Engine & Cover Hobby Boss 1/48

The Quickboost QB48448 Yak-38 Forger correct vertical engine & cover upgrade set is a high-quality accessory designed for the Yak-38 Forger model in 1/48 scale by Hobby Boss. This product allows you to replace the original kit parts, providing much higher detail and authenticity of the depicted vertical engine and cover.

The Yak-38 Forger is a Soviet carrier-based fighter with variable vertical and short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) capability, operated since the late 1970s. It was used mainly by the USSR Navy on Kiev-class aircraft carriers. This unique design, in service during the Cold War period (1976–1991), was the Soviet response to the British Harrier—serving both as a fighter and attack aircraft.

The Quickboost QB48448 set is made from precisely cast, high-quality resin, ensuring sharp details and durability of each part. Unlike plastic parts, resin accessories provide a clearer representation of small details such as wiring, riveting, or surface ribbing. The kit includes a vertical lift engine assembly and a dedicated cover, accurately replicating the real engine installed in the Yak-38 aircraft.
