1/48 scale Dual build Spitfire Mk.Vbs
Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2025 8:59 pm
My first two completed builds of 2025.
First up is the Hasegawa WW2 Russian Spitfire Mk.Vb 'Red Star'. A fun build. The decals were sort of brittle but workable.
Next is the Tamiya Spitfire Mk.Vb Clipped Wings - s/n BL479 of No.316 Squadron. Typical Tamiya good fit and ease of assembly. Decals are still notoriously thick - especially the roundels on top and undersides of wings.
A side by side comparison. Both are very close in same size but Tamiya seems to be a bit robust compared to the Hasegawa kit.
