About product

Spitfire Mk.IX engine, a resin set from Eduard Brassin, 1:48 scale

A resin upgrade set from the Czech maker Eduard out of the Brassin range. It brings a complete Rolls-Royce Merlin engine for the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX fighter in 1:48 scale, with the engine block, the engine bearer and the cowlings, usually with photo-etched parts added. It is not a model or a kit of the whole aircraft: it is a detail accessory for advanced modelers, which makes it possible to build a model with the engine section exposed instead of the simplified plastic from the box. Cast resin renders the cylinders, the pipework and the accessories of the powerplant convincingly.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire is among the most famous fighters of the Second World War. The Mk.IX version, powered by a supercharged Rolls-Royce Merlin V12, was the answer to the German fighters and became one of the most widespread variants. An exposed engine with the cowlings open is among the most striking ways to present a model.

How to use the resin set

  • Separate the parts carefully from the casting blocks with a razor saw, and never tear them off.
  • Before gluing, wash the resin in lukewarm water with dish soap, so that the mold release residue disappears.
  • Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate); tack the fine photo-etched parts in spots.
  • Sand with respiratory protection, ideally wet.

Who the set is for

  • For advanced modelers building the Spitfire Mk.IX in 1:48 scale.
  • For those who want a model with an exposed engine and open cowlings.

It is supplied as a resin accessory, unpainted. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
