About product

A round outlet as a dating clue

A detail that disappears at first glance but that those in the know spot immediately: the shape of the exhaust stacks of the Merlin. The round outlet belongs to the earlier series and stayed on machines delivered at a time when the later flattened solution had not yet taken hold. Anyone building a particular aircraft from a period photograph has to check the shape, because mixing the two up moves the model into an entirely different production stage. That is exactly why two versions of this set were made side by side: they are not the same part under two names, but two different exhaust terminations.

Contents and purpose of the package

The package brings together cast parts that are otherwise bought one at a time. The instrument panel comes with a colored surface and with seat belts, the exhausts are fitted in place of the plastic parts from the kit, and the masks make spraying the glazing frames and the tires easier. With a single purchase the modeler covers the parts of the aircraft where molded plastic runs into its limits.

What to watch out for

  • Separate the castings from the casting block with a saw, not with nippers, so that they do not snap.
  • It is a good idea to rinse them before gluing; mold release agent is left on the surface.
  • The masks go on only onto polished and dry glazing.
  • The exhausts are among the most closely watched details, so it pays to tint them with rusty shades.

The set assumes an Airfix kit in the scale mentioned; the model itself is not part of the delivery. Anyone preparing several Mk.IXs side by side will appreciate that the two terminations come separately, so no unused castings are left over.

FAQ

What tells them apart is the termination of the exhaust. One offers a round outlet, the other a flattened, widened one.

From a period photograph of the machine you are building. The shape of the exhaust changed during production.

Yes, it is recommended. A residue of mold release agent is usually left on the surface of a casting and paint would hold poorly.

No, these are purely accessories. The plastic model is bought separately.
