Procopius Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Has anyone had any experience with the MDC Spitfire I spinner for the recentish Revell Spitfire IIa 1.32 kit? I read somewhere that one person found it a trifle too small for the spinner hub, and I was hoping that was an isolated incident, but I thought it would be more fun to find out before buying it. Any information you have is most appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi there, I confess it was me, I bought that kit for my build but it was too small for the Revell back plate, It could have been adapted with some work but i wasn't going there, Here is the build https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/66520-last-build-for-2016-a-bit-late/&page=1 To save time wading through it this is what I wrote at the time. The MDC resin parts arrived and very nice they looked too, however the spinner was too small for the kit backplate, I had ordered the complete Mk.I correction set as it said it was for the Revell kit, but I have a feeling that it is meant for the Revell reboxing of the Hasegawa Mk.I/II kit which utilised their old Mk.Vb fuselage with new wings ( Revell kit 04715). The resin correction kit will not go to waste as I have one of those kits in the stash. The replacement prop and spinner that I wanted was from Eagle Parts but there was and still is a lack of stock of them. http://www.eagle-editions.com/eagleparts-fine-cast-resin-parts-to-update-or-modify-model-kits/spitfire-mk-i-and-mk-ii-1-32nd-resins By now there may be other resin props available.
