Harold55 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Well this is what I have been waiting for. My uncle flew the Vc in the Mediterranean theater and later went on to become an ace in the P-51. I have decals for his Vc from the Classic Airframe kit but really wanted to do it up better and this will do very nicely! Very exciting to see this today! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_W Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Looks like I will be sitting down again, having parted with my money, to write 100 times "I must not buy more Spitfires, I must not buy more Spitfires, I must not buy more Spitfires ...."

That should not take too long. Ready for the next release. And if nothing else, what a choice selection of spares in this kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozothenutter Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Oh hell, got the previous 'limited' Spits, might as well complete the set (one full open,one buttoned up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt-92 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Here we go again.. I really need that extension added now. Good to see the Mk.IX slowly returning again, they've been in low supply lately. (no 1/72 re-releases as of yet) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 These kits do look really impressive! Based on Eduard's past releases in 1:48 and 1:72, is it likely that they might also release a 1:72 Mk1 & 2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Just a couple of days ago I finally decided on a subject to justify buying a Vb - the restored version of BL628/YO-D "Marion" - and Google seemed to say the Airfix kit was the best for this mark. I imagine this is no longer true! The decals for the Dual Combo even offer the opportunity for me to bodge the codes and serial!! Time to start hinting heavily for my birthday...

They seem to have slowed down that 1/72 revolution somewhat lately. Track record says 2-3 years from 1/48 to 1/72 so.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 It's a bit of a wait to see the 1/72 version, but much better than the 10 years it took see the Emil - and that was with Special Hobby doing most of the work. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I was just looking through the instructions for the Dual Combo and on the new sprue there's another set of undercarriage legs, so I assumed these are for the Vc to take into account the change in rake. But I was then surprised that they indicate to use the legs from existing sprues on all versions. So is this just a mistake in the instructions or am missing something?

I think this will not be the case. Looking at the sprue shots there are only two wing assembles. One will be the Vb and the other Vc. First set of sprues - Vb wing assembly. Note: you do get an extra fuselage that could be used for two Vc's. The other fuselage here is for some Vb versions with the rear fuselage spline flare port. Second Set - Vc wing assembly This is confirmed in the detail fret close ups on Eduard's site. They only call up one wing assembly of each.

Grey Beema Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I’m just hoping they consider a Seafire III now. They must have most of the bits in various releases, just need a folding wing. Go on Eduard, you know you want to... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll just wait for the separate boxing's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
