About product

Eduard resin gun bays for the Spitfire Mk. Vc in 1:48 scale

The set makes it possible to build the model with the gun bays in the wing open, that is with the panels swung back and the armament uncovered, as the machine looked during maintenance and the replenishing of ammunition. The resin castings carry details that cannot be got into injection-molded plastic: the inner structure of the bay, the mounting of the weapons and the small items around them. The set is an accessory to a plastic model of the Spitfire Mk. Vc in 1:48 scale; the kit itself, glue and paints are not in the package. The make-up of the package is given by the maker on the packaging of the set.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vc differed from the Mk. Vb version in the so-called universal wing, which allowed various arrangements of armament - machine guns, a pair or a set of four twenty-millimeter cannons, or a combination of them. That is exactly why the inside of the wing differs between the versions and accessories are not interchangeable between the Mk. Vb and the Mk. Vc. The Mk. V was the most numerously built variant of the Spitfire and it served on a number of fronts.

Fitting and painting tips

Count on an opening having to be cut into the wing of the kit; go slowly, first drill the outline out and only then cut. Wash the mold release agent off the resin, cut the casting blocks away with a saw and level the surfaces by sanding wet with protection for your breathing. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Finish and paint the bays before you glue the halves of the wing. Bring the inside out with a dark wash and a dry brush, so that the structure stands out; put the swung-back panels on at the very end.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the Spitfire Mk. Vc in 1:48 scale.
  • Those who want a model with the gun bays open.
  • More experienced builders - the set calls for cutting into the plastic.
  • Anyone interested in a diorama set in the world of maintenance and preparing an aircraft.

The set is an accessory to a plastic model, not a kit on its own. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin accessory for the gun bays for a plastic model of the Spitfire Mk. Vc in 1:48 scale.

We do not recommend it. The Mk. Vc has a different universal wing with a different arrangement of armament, so the bays do not match between the versions.

Yes, it is among the more involved accessories: an opening has to be cut into the wing of the kit and the bays finished before the halves are glued.

Accessories are designed for a particular kit. Before buying, compare the details on the packaging with the model you are building.
