1/48 Spitfire Vb Late recommended for Airfix

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb was one of the most widely used variants of the famous British fighter in the first half of World War II. A later version of this type, designated "Late", brought a number of minor operational modifications based on RAF combat experience - including changes to the cockpit layout and instrumentation. The pilot's instrument panel included the standard set of flight and engine instruments typical of Rolls-Royce Merlin 45-engined machines: speedometer, altimeter, turn indicator, inclinometer, tachometer, oil and fuel pressure gauges, and more. The exact panel design varied according to production series and operational deployment - machines serving in North Africa or Malta may have carried different configurations to those operating over Western Europe.

The 1:48 scale photo-etched Yahu Model panel is made of brass sheet with a colour overprint that faithfully reproduces the appearance of the actual dashboard, including dials, hands and labels. JustStick technology allows for easy assembly without the need for complicated gluing - the panel is ready to be fitted directly into the cockpit. The kit is designed for Airfix, Hasegawa and Tamiya 1:48 scale kits and is a direct replacement for the plastic part from the original package. The result is a significantly more believable and detailed cockpit interior without the need to paint the instruments by hand.
