Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb - 1/72 Revell


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Here is Revell's Spitfire Mk.Vb. Not the most accurate Spitfire but I enjoyed building it.

It is straight from the box, assembled between a nappy and a bottle...

 

Hope you like it,

 

Cheers,

 

Antoine

Nice Spitfire, and IFF aerial, yes, but radio wire aerial – no!

 

Mk 5:s and later had VHF radios with the antenna integral to the antenna post. Just snip it off (it doesn't look that convincing anyway 😉 ).

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim

Hi Joachim,

Thanks for your comments.  For the VHF, you mean the most vertical wire?

For the others, I have recurrent tension trouble. Sorry for that. They seem to loosen after some time. I'm using nylon fishing line. It is more than 30 year old now so that might be why... Shall probably buy new one...

I'm 70 and have similar problems.
