1:32 Spitfire Mk.Ia exhaust for Kotare kit

Art Scale 1:32 Spitfire Mk.Ia, replacement exhausts

A set of precisely shaped replacement exhaust stacks from Art Scale in 1:32 scale, intended for models of the British Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia fighter. The parts are made by modern technology with a very fine surface, have hollowed stack mouths and replace the simpler plastic exhausts from the base kit.

The real subject

The Spitfire Mk.Ia was an early production form of the legendary British fighter with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. The arrangement of the cylinders gave the machine the characteristic fishbone exhausts along the sides of the engine cowling, and it is exactly this prominent detail that the set captures faithfully.

Use and tips

• Cut the parts from the casting blocks and sand them lightly with respiratory protection.
• Wash off any remains of release agent before gluing.
• They are bonded with cyanoacrylate (super glue).
• Emphasize the stack mouths with a dark shade and rust for a realistic look.

Who the set is for

• Builders of Spitfire Mk.Ia models in the large 1:32 scale.
• Modelers who care about a faithful rendering of the exhausts and the graduation of detail.

This is an accessory detail set, not an aircraft model. The base model, glue and paints are not included, unless stated otherwise.
