Revell 1/72 Spitfire Mk V


Recommended Posts

Hi all, Last one of the year for me as the other half has evicted me for the space for prezzies and other Christmas stuff, so had to be a fairly quick build. Fit wasn't great and paint job could have been better so I thought I'd try putting it on a little base to see if that would help. Painted all in tamiya and no added extras, apart from the base.

That's a neat little build for a 'quickie' - looks good to me. I didn't know that Revell did a MkV - is it the Matchbox or Italeri kit, surely not their original rivet-box from the 1960s? ( actually I think that was a MkI or II)

They brought out a Vb in the 90s (96?) which wasn't well received due to its lack of "gull wing" and a few other inaccuracies.

 

They released another earlier this year that is better but still has a few glitches.

OK, to be fair, the Tangmere Museum Spitfire has it on both sides. And I haven't found a photo of the right side. But wasn't it not the normal thing to have such inscriptions and markings only on the left side?

1996 tooling by Revell I believe

Something like that, and totally new -- but still the problem with gull-effect. We were rather disappointed at that time.
