Spitfire Mk.Vb mid 1/48
Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb Mid is a plastic kit of one of the key variants of the famous British fighter aircraft that dominated the air battles of 1942. The Mk.Vb version with the "b" wing type combined two 20mm cannons and four machine guns, making it a versatile and reliable RAF machine deployed over the Channel, Malta and in North African airspace. The model features a detailed interior, fine finish and authentic markings of the machines from the medium production period.
The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb was one of the RAF's most important fighter aircraft during 1941-1942. The "mid" version represented a steady medium production run, with design changes implemented based on early combat experience. The aircraft received improved weapons cowls, modifications to the cooling of the Merlin 45 engine, minor changes to the cockpit and an overall more stable configuration that allowed for long-term deployment in a wide range of conditions. The Mk.Vb mid Spitfires became famous in combat over occupied Europe, escorting bombers, in the massive defence of Malta and in operations in North Africa, where their agility and solid firepower earned them the respect of their opponents.
Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb Mid faithfully captures the character of this production series and offers a precision crafted cockpit, realistic surface texture with finem engraving and riveting, and precise proportions to match the actual aircraft. Included are a variety of build options, authentic RAF markings and details that allow the machine to be built to suit the exact period of operation. The technical quality of the kit makes it a great choice for modellers who want a distinctive variant of the famous Spitfire in their collection.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
