About product

Spitfire Mk.Vb MesserSpit in 1:72 scale (Brengun)

This injection-molded plastic kit with photo-etched parts captures an unusual conversion - a captured British Spitfire Mk.Vb that the Germans fitted with an inverted V12 Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine. The package contains plastic parts, a photo-etched fret and decals for this experimental machine in German form.

The real subject

During the Second World War Germany acquired several flyable captured Spitfires. One Mk.Vb was experimentally fitted with a German Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine, producing a hybrid aircraft nicknamed the MesserSpit. It served for trials and performance comparisons; it was a one-off experimental machine, not a production variant.

Building and painting tips

Join the plastic parts with liquid cement for plastic and the fine photo-etched parts (the exhaust fairings, for instance) with super glue. Apply a primer before spraying. The German finish and the national insignia come out well once a gloss coat is applied under the decals.

Who the model is for

  • Fans of captured and experimental aircraft
  • Collectors of unusual hybrids
  • Modelers with experience of small scales and photo-etch

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
