About product

Supermarine Spitfire drop tank 1:72 (Quickboost)

A precisely cast resin jettisonable external fuel tank for the British Supermarine Spitfire fighter in 1:72 scale. It is an aftermarket detail part with a smooth surface and a faithful shape that completes the under-fuselage tank when showing the aircraft on a long-range flight. It is not a stand-alone airplane model, but an accessory.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire was a British single-seat fighter with a distinctive elliptical wing and one of the best-known aircraft of the Second World War. To extend its range on escort and ferry flights it carried a jettisonable external tank under the fuselage, which the pilot dropped once the fuel was used up. Adding this tank gives a finished model a period, operationally faithful look.

Tips for use and fitting

Resin parts call for more careful work than plastic: first wash them free of mold release residue, separate them carefully from the casting block and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue. Check the smooth surface of the tank before painting and sand it lightly if needed, then apply a primer. Protect your airways while sanding.

Who the part is for

  • Modelers building the Spitfire in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone wanting to show the aircraft with an under-fuselage drop tank
  • Builders who want a faithful shape and a smooth tank surface
  • Collectors of British aircraft of the Second World War

The part is supplied as a resin accessory, unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail part, that is an aftermarket accessory. The base kit has to be bought separately.

The part is shaped for the British Supermarine Spitfire fighter in 1:72 scale. It is worth checking the exact fit in your particular kit dry, because what the makers offer differs.

Wash it free of mold release agent, separate it from the casting block and glue it with cyanoacrylate glue. Protect your airways when sanding. The work is a little more demanding than with plastic.
