About product

Late Engine Covers for the Spitfire Mk. IXc 1:72 (Quickboost)

A set of resin engine covers in the late version for the British Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IXc fighter in 1:72 scale from Quickboost. It is not an airplane model but a set of precisely cast detail parts that replace the engine cowling from the base kit with a more faithful shape matching the late production version.

What the part is for

The Spitfire Mk. IX was a powerful development stage of the famous British fighter, created by fitting the two-stage supercharged Rolls-Royce Merlin 60 series engine. The longer and more powerful engine called for a modified cowling with bulges and ventilation panels, whose shape differed slightly on later aircraft. The resin covers in the late version have the correct outlines and finer surface detail than injected plastic.

Usage and painting tips

Resin parts need more careful preparation: wash them in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue, carefully separate them from the casting block and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate); protect your airways while sanding. Check the fit against the fuselage before gluing, fill and sand any gaps, then spray the base color and pick out the panel lines with a fine flowing wash.

Who the part is for

  • Modelers building the Spitfire Mk. IXc in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone who wants the correct cowling shape of the late production version
  • Collectors of British fighter subjects of the Second World War
  • Builders bothered by the inaccurate geometry of the kit covers

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. These are resin engine covers, a detail accessory for a Spitfire kit. The base model has to be bought separately.

They have the correct shape of the late version and a finer surface, so the engine area matches the real aircraft more closely than injected plastic.

They are washed to remove mold release residue, cut from the casting block and bonded with super glue. Sand with your airways protected.
