John Irwing Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Airfix 1:24 Supermarine Spitfire MkVb (A50055)RF*D AB910 No303 (Kosciuszko) SquadronSqd Ldr Jan “Johnny” Zumbachhttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/006_zpsycowgezh.jpghttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/007_zpsncrepelb.jpghttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/008_zpsqw1czqsx.jpghttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/005_zpsrrndehjd.jpghttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/009_zpsxcha9acj.jpghttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/010_zpswna0mrjm.jpg I'm afraid this one put up a bit of a fight, old mould with lots of flash and updated parts for the Vb were not up to Airfix's current excellent standards. Last built the base kit in 1970 when it was first released and loved it, it was a diferent sort of challenge now but still enjoyed making it. The kit is built completely out of the box (with the exception of some fishing line for aerials) brush painted with Humbol enamels and finished with brush painted Humbrol Matcote.

Moggey Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Just trying to build the A50055 Spitfire VB and noticed that there are three parts numbers 36/50/52 that are not shown in the assembly instructions so I don’t know where they are supposed to be on the model can any one help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The 1/24 Vb is the Mk.I with extra parts. Those parts may be required to build a Mk.I but not a Vb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Agreed; it would be nice if Airfix brought their instructions into the 21st Century and included sprue charts and lists of "parts not required". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
