Among Eduard’s new releases for October is a ProfiPACK edition Spitfire Mk.Ia model kit in 1/72 scale.
The Mk.Ia was an eight-machine-gun version of Britain’s early Spitfire fighter, distinguished from the cannon-armed Mk Ib. Its sleek elliptical wings, Rolls-Royce Merlin II or III engine, and eight wing-mounted .303-inch Browning machine guns combined speed, agility, and concentrated firepower. During the Battle of Britain in 1940, it fought alongside the more numerous Hawker Hurricane, playing a vital role in defending Britain against the Luftwaffe and establishing the Spitfire’s enduring reputation.
The kit (70202) is reportedly based on the new tool Mk.Vb released last year. It includes new parts as well as pre-painted PE parts, painting masks and Eduard decals with marking options for seven aircraft.
