Airfix 1\24 spitfire Mk.VB tropical


Recommended Posts

In the end, she definitely looks like a Spitfire Vb – full points for perseverance and dedication!

 

Airfix box illustration is wrong about the aerial wire, however. The Mk Vb had VHF radio sets with an internal antenna in the antenna post – no wire!

 

I found a photo of VF-D after what looks like a landing mishap or a crash landing. Someone has even hung his leather jacket over the antenna post and there's no corresponding attachment point on the rudder, so you can safely cut the wire off. ;-)
