Decals for 1/48 Spit Mk Vb Trop?


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Are there any aftermarket decals for a 1/48 Spit Mk Vb Topical? I'm building one with the smaller filter underneath (not the larger Vokes filter). I just ruined the roundels for the lower wings on my Tamiya kit. I've never seen MicroSol completely disintegrate decals like what just happened. <_<

Thanks for any help/recommendations.

:cheers:

If its only the lower wings decals you're after, there should be any amount of generic 1/48 C type roundels available. Its not my scale but a google for 1/48 RAF WW2 roundel decals would be a good place to start, & something gentler on the rest of them a good way to go on. :lol:

Steve.

That's usually referred to as an "Aboukir filter". It was devised by 103 Maintenance Unit based at,unsurprisingly,Aboukir. It wasn't as effective as a Vokes filter but,as you can see from your model,the drag penalty was lower.

Cheers

Thanks all (and for the name of the filter!) :)

I've found and placed an order for roundels, and that should work fine (but MANY thanks for the kind offer, Matt).

Everyone here is awesome! :)
