malpaso Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Excellent, been awaiting the Vb trop boxing.If you use AM decals I don't think it matters which kit you use; my 1B kit seeems to include all the different props LR tank and tropical nose parts. I think the "late" Vb kit has a different canopy moulding for the "internal" armoured screen. Otherwise the instructions, decals and box are probably the only differences between the kits.It's certainly a very nicely moulded kit.

The wooksta V2.0 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 The mk IX "Post War" appears to be a reboxing of the AZ mk IX "Interesting Markings" kit. Handy - I could do with the Czech Air Police for a whiffed late IX low back. The Vb trop looks nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I just ordered the Vb, can't wait to see it. If it's moulded like the IX is, then I'll be happy. The only Vb I have in my collection right now is the Revell kit, which of course has the mother of all Spitfire boo-boos on its belly. I glued it to a base so no one can pick it up and turn it over! I have the Sword Vc trop in my stash, that doesn't look bad in the box either. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Bill, trust me, you'll be a very happy bird when you get it! Their older Vb (the AZ one) is also well worth the candle.

Beard Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) For what it's worth, I think it's better than their MkIX. Edited because the spell-check on my phone doesn't understand Spitfire variants. Edited April 30, 2016 by Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Photos show something a lot darker than Azure Blue. But do you really want to start that bunfight over again? But before doing that, go and read Paul Lucas's article in Scale Aircraft Modelling. Edited May 12, 2016 by Graham Boak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But before doing that, go and read Paul Lucas's article in Scale Aircraft Modelling. How am I putting up a fight ? I was only repeating what the instructions say, I did not make any statement on the real colors. I am just interested in unusual schemes, I wonder where KP/AZ got their info from ...

Navy Bird Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Bill, trust me, you'll be a very happy bird when you get it! Their older Vb (the AZ one) is also well worth the candle. For what it's worth, I think it's better than their MkIX. I received the new KP Spitfire Mk.VB (the Czech Pilots version, not any of the Tropical ones, although the tropical filter is included). You guys were right, it looks fantastic, but I wish there was an open canopy option. Oh well, that Falcon set of Spitfire vacuform canopies will come in handy. I think that old Revell VB in my display case is about to be sent on a mission to reconnoiter the bottom of the bin. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Surely you need another paint dog Bill, the Vb, would look good with a finish that looks like its just come out of a paint ball war. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooksta V2.0 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Why bin it when there's a ready market on ebay for built up kits? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Why bin it when there's a ready market on ebay for built up kits? Huh, never thought of that. You think somebody would actually buy it? It has a flat belly - no gull wing! A true Spitfire aficionado would gasp in horror. Although I have glued it to a base since this photo was taken, maybe they won't see it. How do you ship stuff like this without it breaking? Plastic models aren't exactly durable goods. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Bill, It doesn't look like it's suffered Cat E damage that would warrant scraping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Far too good a model to just bin, especially given all the time and effort you invested in it. Donate it to a museum? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Despite the fact that I have quite a few - admittedly obtained via donation or as ebay job lots with other things - I've never actually built a Revell Vb, although I have used the fuselages with Airfix PR19 wings as whiffed PRIVs. I may have to do one for the experience... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Bill I was oblivious to the "gull-wing" until seeing it mentioned on Britmodeller, despite reading many books about the Spitfire. Still I prefer the old Airfix Vb to the Revell one in 1/72!Cheers Will Edited May 16, 2016 by malpaso 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 New boxing - Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc - S/ldr Eugenius Horbaczewski - ref. Source: https://www.facebook.com/kovop/posts/548819201978600 Quote KP has prepared and now is releasing the new line of products called "Club line". These kits are specially for school modeler clubs or for begginners. Every kit contains only one camo scheme. What is fine is the end price, which is 6,99 EUR.
