doorgunner Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hello, I am glad to share with you my brand-new article in full scale, built as a model kit. It is the Barr & Stroud RAF Mk II and MK II* fitted to almost all British fighters of WWII. As usual, this kit is a resin copy of an original one, casted in absolutely non toxic resin. In particular the modeller can choose between two kits: - MK II: is the one used during the Battle of Britain on Spit, Hurri, Defiant etc... It has a curved glass onto a curved head. Part number is 7a/1124. Seen on Spitfire Mk I, Mk II, V, especially on Malta based a/c. The kit is composed of 28 parts. - MK II*: the asterisk indicates the new, upgraded version, with a new head with brackets, and new, squared glass. Part number is 6b/2361. Seen on late Mk V and all british fighters and fighter-bomber until 1944-45. The kit is composed of 31 parts. Parts are casted from original, so they can be assembled as the originals. Wheels rotates and lower wheel can be screwed on the main body. The two lens retainer rings can be screwed as the real so that the use of glue is reduced at its minimum. The kits are available and shipped worldwide. For more information please contact me at: [email protected] Thanks a lot for your attention, ciao maurizio PS: For photographic purposes I assembled one main body as an EARLY version, modifying the data plate with EARLY inscriptions, than replace the head with a LATE one just the time to take the pictures. In the LATE version there are full original data plate engravings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radpoe Spitfire Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 These are kits!!!!! Well they are absolutely amazing, very well done that man, you may have set a president here. I know in the past there have been 1:1 weapons, but this has to be a first. On the plus side, there is a potential for these to be fitted to 1:1 aircraft replicas.

doorgunner Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hello and thanks a lot for your kind words ! I am happy because other than being a very nice and realistic kit, this has been also a good seller. In 20 days, more than the half of the run is gone. Next step would be the cannon armed spitfire spade grip, if only I find a gun rocker button to be copied....:( Thanks ciao Maurizio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
