Spitfire Mk.IX Engine

1:72 Eduard

 

 

If you're lucky enough to have one of Eduard's rather excellent new Spitfire Mk.IXs in glorious 1:72, you won't have failed to notice that the kit has been designed in such a way as to accommodate an engine. It should come as no surprise then, to find that Eduard themselves have released just such an item. Packed into a reasonably large box considering the size of the contents, the engine is supplied as 26 resin parts and a small fret of photo etched details. Not all of the resin parts are used though, as you get a choice of upper cowling and two different types of exhaust nozzles. Assembly should be fairly straightforward, although you will need to supply your own wire in order to finish some of the finer plumbing and electrical work. The inclusion of replacement parts for the cowling allows the engine to be finished in a variety of possibilities. The resin parts are beautifully cast and tick all the boxes in terms of fulfilling the functions of an aftermarket upgrade. Overall, this is a great addition to the kit and it can be highly recommended.

Not to mention my eyes...
