Airfix Spit MkVC/Seafire


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I'm building up the Spit Mk VC (the rebox old tool Spit Vb with new "C" wings) for the Spitfire group build and I've got some questions:

1. Is the prop supposed to be shaped like that?? It seems keyed backwards with the leading edge in the wrong direction.

2. Is the landing gear attachment to the wheels supposed to be that bad??

Have you guys seen the same things...especially the prop?

Hi Jotter

Yes the kit prop is way off: go get yourself an Ultracast replacement.

As for the MLG strut to wheel attachment fit: mine wasn't too bad. You can always cut off the axle and replace it with suitable sized plastic rod

I did my as a Seafire III: have a look if you like http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=17769

best of luck
