Set description and benefits:
Quickboost QB48892 offers a set of professionally cast resin FOD covers, perfectly fitting L-39 models from Special Hobby and Eduard. These covers authentically replicate the protection of air intakes from foreign objects on the ground according to real airport procedures.
