Responsibility details are not available.
A set of resin control surfaces for the Supermarine Spitfire fighter in the Mk.I version in 1:48 scale. It is an accessory for the Airfix kit, not a model of the aircraft. It serves to swap the surfaces that in plastic are cast in one piece with the wing or the tail surfaces for separate parts that can be fitted deflected.
The rudder and ailerons of early Spitfires were covered with fabric, so the typical sag appears between the ribs. In injected plastic this structure is either suppressed or, on the contrary, overdone. A casting keeps it finer and above all makes it possible to fit the surfaces in a position other than neutral; a model with a slightly deflected rudder and a dropped aileron comes across as livelier at once, especially on a stand beside a figure or in a diorama.
The most delicate operation is separating a surface from the casting block, as a thin part with a leading edge breaks easily. Support it on a board across its whole area while cutting, therefore, and guide the saw with short strokes rather than by force. Sand strictly wet: lay the abrasive paper on glass, wet it and guide the part across it; that way you get a straight edge and at the same time create no dust. Dry resin dust must not be inhaled, and after work wipe the surface with a damp cloth. You modify the wing or the fin itself by cutting off the original surface; always scribe the cut first and only then cut. Try the parts dry and hold them with tweezers until the cyanoacrylate glue sets. Painting is simplest done separately: stick the surfaces with double-sided tape to a strip of card, spray them, and fit them to the model only once dry.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. Before buying, check that the set will fit your kit.
