Spitfire 30gal. Slipper Tank

1:48 Brassin

Having already released a 90ig slipper tank for their Spitfires, Brassin have now released the smaller 30ig version. The detail inside and out is superb with some beautifully moulded rivet detail and the deformed metal around them, since this tanks were of fairly lightweight construction they appear to have started off with a load of dents around the rivet lines. The casting block is attached to the trailing edge of the tank, making removal and clean up a doddle. Since the part had detail moulded on the inside it could well be used in a diorama, rather than just being fitted to a model. Brassin have provided etched parts to simulate the rear retaining hooks, which also allowed the tank to topple away from the aircraft when jettisoned.

Conclusion
This is a very simple but effective upgrade to your Eduard 1:48 Spitfire, or any manufacturers for that matter. Great moulding, great detail, what more can you ask for?

Highly recommended
