The new December releases from Eduard includes this ProfiPACK Edition Spitfire Mk.Vb “mid” in 1/48 scale.
The Spitfire Mk.Vb “mid” variant is a transitional production batch of the most numerous Spitfire mark, built around 1941–42. It mounts two 20 mm Hispano cannons and four .303 in Browning machine guns in the B-wing, with options for 90-gallon drop tank or bombs, a three-blade Rotol propeller, standard rounded wingtips, early-mid carburetor intake (sometimes tropicalized), non-armored laminated glass windscreen, and cockpit refinements like adjusted rudder pedals and rear armor plate, distinguishing it from early models by refined details and from late ones by lacking clipped wings or universal cannon bays.
The kit (82157) includes Eduard plastic parts, pre-painted PE parts, painting mask and Eduard decals with marking options for seven aircraft.
