About product

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI High Back (1:48, Eduard ProfiPACK)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI fighter in the high-back version in 1:48 scale from the Czech manufacturer Eduard, in the ProfiPACK edition. ProfiPACK means fuller contents: colored photo-etched parts and masking stencils are included. The box offers several marking options; check the exact number of schemes against the manufacturer's part number.

The real subject

The Spitfire Mk.XVI was a late variant of the legendary British fighter, powered by a Packard Merlin engine built under license. The high-back version had the classic shape of the rear fuselage with a taller canopy, unlike the later machines with a cut-down spine and a bubble canopy. Mk.XVI Spitfires served at the end of the war and afterwards in the ground attack and fighter roles.

Building and painting tips

Make use of the colored photo-etch for the instrument panel and the seat belts and of the masks supplied for the glazing. Paint the interior before you close the fuselage. Glue with thin cement for plastic and the photo-etch with cyanoacrylate glue. Apply a primer and the colors with an airbrush, put the decals on over a gloss coat and bring out the panel lines with a wash.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of British Second World War fighters
  • Anyone interested in late versions of the Spitfire
  • Modelers who appreciate the photo-etch and masks of the ProfiPACK edition
