But at least Eduard announced the "c" already while people stilll wait for an Airfix Vc. Well now probably not as many as before... I believe the Free Czech squadrons flew the Vb, so the choice makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrice But I hope not as overengineered as their Mk. IX kit. The spinner and prop are the most complicated parts I've seen in 1/72. I almost changed those parts for an Airfix prop and spinner... As one can build an early Mk. I, Mkl, II and Va with the Airfix 1/72 kit that have almost every needed parts concerning props, spinners, oilcoolers and canopys, fit is without trouble and the only missing thing is the harness for the pilot seat... ...I think eduard has to work hard to get an early Spitfire Mk. I/II/V that is priceworthy and not overengineered. Can an "b or c-wing Spifire" be enough to make the difference for eduard in 1/72?

JBr Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 One of the Czech modeller's asked Eduard boss at modelforum.cz about the possibility of Mk. Vb being the next Spitfire version to be released in 2020. The answer was that it si planned, but most likely for 2021 release, as they want to release Mk. I in time for Eday 2020. As 2020 marks 80 years anniversary of the Battle of Britain and given few subtle hints from his posts in the previous months, I'd expect some juicy BoB limited edition box with a book to be the first release of the kit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers / André Let's hope so, as the c wing could be the basis for a Mk Xll And there's also the possibility of 'progressing' to the Merlin Seafires, to say nothing of early PR machines. None of these are available in kit form and can only be built via sometimes very-hard-to-get conversions. Considering how Eduard 'work' I'd be very optimistic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
