About product

Photo-etched parts for the Spitfire Mk.IIa in 1:72 scale

A set of photo-etched metal parts for a model of the British Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IIa fighter. In 1:72 scale the model is small, and a plastic part on it comes out at the greatest thickness relative to the real subject of any of the common scales. Thin metal therefore tells immediately here: an edge stays sharp and a part looks like sheet, not like a slab.

The real subject

The Spitfire Mk.II is an early version of the famous fighter, which followed on from the machines of the Battle of Britain. The letter a in the designation concerns the armament: machines marked that way carried eight machine guns in the wings, whereas the version with the letter b had a pair of cannons supplemented by machine guns. The difference is visible on the model on the leading edge of the wing and is worth keeping an eye on, because both variants flew at the same time.

Building tips

A small scale puts the emphasis on patience. Separate the parts with a sharp blade on a hard surface and never break them out with your fingers. Use tweezers with a fine tip and dose the glue in a truly tiny amount, otherwise a drop will cover the whole part. Degrease the metal before painting and apply a primer; on small parts choose the thinnest coats you can, because a heavy coat in this scale swallows all the relief you are putting metal on the model for.

It concerns the armament. Machines marked that way carried eight machine guns in the wings, whereas the version with the letter b had a pair of cannons supplemented by machine guns.

The name does not state the particular kit, only the aircraft type and the scale. Try the parts dry before gluing them for that reason.

Working with photo-etch in 1:72 scale is demanding on fine motor skills. Tweezers with a fine tip, a sharp blade, a hard cutting surface and glue dosed in tiny drops all help.
