Eduard 1:48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.II landing flaps is a photo-etched set of landing flaps for a model of the British fighter in 1:48 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
A photo-etched detail set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit of the aircraft but an accessory that replaces the plastic landing flaps with thin etched metal. On the Spitfire this detail is especially rewarding: its flaps were operated pneumatically and had only two positions, up and fully down, so a lowered flap is a striking and unmissable feature of a standing aircraft. A plastic part is too thick for this purpose and its inner side is empty. Check that it matches your kit beforehand against the information on the packaging of the set.
The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.II is a British single-engine fighter of the early 1940s, a production version following on from the first series Spitfires. Its characteristic features are the elliptical wing, a liquid-cooled V12 engine and a slender fuselage. The Mk.II version differed from its predecessor above all in a more powerful powerplant and in production modifications.
The plastic flaps usually have to be cut out of the wing and the recess cleaned up; the operation is irreversible, so try it dry first. Cut the parts off with photo-etch scissors or cut them out with a scalpel, and make the bends in a bending tool. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue or with epoxy; cement for plastic will not join metal. Degrease the metal before painting and spray it with a primer. Paint the inner side of the flap and bring it out with a dark wash before you seat it on the wing. Watch that both flaps are at the same angle — any asymmetry is immediately visible from behind.
This is an accessory for a model. The model itself, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
