Jonny Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The April edition of Airfix Model World has, on page 95, a review of a Brengun 1/48 scale a twin F52 camera fit “as installed on PR. X, XI and XIX variants”. And “it would be suitable for 1/48 offerings by Airfix or AZ Model straight from the box (PR.XIX or XI respectively, or via conversions (Hasegawa with a Quickboost set)”. From that I assume the reviewer knows that AZ Model has, or is about to, market a Spitfire PR. I. I looked on the AZ website but couldn’t see any reference. Does anyone know whether or not we can expect a PR.XI Spitfire?? The review indicates that the cost of the Brengun camera is £8:30, by the way.

I looked on the AZ website but couldn’t see any reference. AZ did a version of either the Occidental/Italeri or the ICM Spitfire IX as a PR XI, base kit plus some conversion parts. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/az-model-az4803-supermarine-spitfire-prxi--131839 not turning up a review or more info to pin down the base kit at the mo see here for more on the PR XI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Thanks very much, Troy ... I thought it might be too good to be true. I’ve converted a Mk.IX using a conversion set (I can’t for the life of me remember who marketed it) which had a resin deep nose, fairings for the wing fuel pumps and downward pointing cameras and PE surround for the oblique camera. It was OK but was lost (destroyed) in a house move. When I saw the review in AMW I thought AT LAST! Ho hum. Thanks again, Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
