About product

The Mark II, the second production version of 1940

The second production version of the Supermarine Spitfire received the Merlin XII engine and a starter that let it be turned over away from its home base as well. The letter b in the designation refers to the wing with two 20 mm Hispano cannons and four machine guns of 7.7 mm caliber. Most of the machines were built in the new plant at Castle Bromwich and reached the units at the moment when the daylight battle over England was turning into night raids.

Where a sprayed marking has the upper hand

A roundel made through a mask is part of the paint layer. It has no thickness of its own, so shading, dusting and fading pass over it as smoothly as over the surrounding surface. The shade is also under your control: a faded blue or a muted red can be mixed, of a kind no ready-made sheet offers.

Contents of the envelope

  • one set of masks for the cockpit glazing, cut for masking from the outside
  • one set of masks for the national marking
  • a sheet of supplementary decals for the color scheme
  • self-adhesive film, pliable and leaving no adhesive behind once lifted

How to work with it

First degrease the glazing. Press the masks into the corners of the frames with a toothpick and run over the edge once more so that the paint does not bleed under it. Apply thinly and rather in two passes. Lift the mask off before the paint has fully cured, otherwise it will take the edge of the coat with it. The cut corresponds to the shapes of the kit from Tamiya in this scale. Do not throw the offcuts of film away; they will serve on the main landing gear wheels.

FAQ

No. The envelope holds one set of masks cut for the outer surface of the glazing. Anyone who wants the frames to look right from the cockpit too has to add inner masking from another source or cut it himself.

It covers what cannot be done with a mask: fine technical lettering, tactical numbers and the color details of a particular machine. The large areas of the marking are sprayed, the fine text stays on the sheet.

The cut fits the cockpit of the Tamiya kit. On another molding the position usually has to be adjusted and sometimes a strip shortened; the shape of the frames differs between manufacturers even by tenths of a millimeter.

You do not. Gloss is used for decals so that no air is left under them. A mask lies directly on matte paint and the resulting roundel has the same finish as its surroundings.
