Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Vb Trop


Recommended Posts

Beautiful Spitfire with just the right amount of subdued weathering, IMHO.

 

The aerial wire is questionable, though – late autumn 1940, Spitfires received VHF radio sets, which eliminated the need for the wire. Instead, the much shorter antenna was integral to the antenna post. Since this particular Mk Vb doesn't even sport the triangular wire fastening prong on the mast, the wire should be removed.
 

All according to the antenna gospel: http://spitfiresite.com/2010/04/spitfire-masts-and-aerials.html/2

 

Excellent modelling!

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim
