The Master 1:144 Supermarine Spitfire Wing E Early Version Detail Set - Conical Fairings for Hispano 20mm Cannons & Browning .50cal Guns is a precisely engineered component dedicated to upgrading 1/144 scale aircraft models. Designed for replicas of the iconic Supermarine Spitfire fighter with the early Wing E configuration, this product enables modelers to achieve a higher level of detail and realism. The primary use of this set is to replace standard, often simplified, plastic parts of an aircraft model, offering a significantly sharper and more accurate representation of the wing armament.
Key Product Features
1/144 Scale: Perfectly matched for aircraft models in this popular modeling scale.
Wing E Specialization (Early Version): Replicates the characteristic armament configuration found in early Wing E versions of the Spitfire fighter.
Realistic Details: The set includes faithful replicas of conical fairings for Hispano 20mm cannon barrels and Browning .50cal machine gun barrels.
High-Precision Manufacturing: Products of this caliber are renowned for their unparalleled accuracy and crisp detail, which is crucial for advanced modeling and building faithful replicas.
Enhanced Historical Accuracy: Enables precise reproduction of the aircraft's authentic armament, significantly raising the realism of the final replica.
Materials and Construction
The components of this set are crafted from high-quality turned metal, which guarantees unparalleled precision, crisp details, and durability, surpassing standard plastic parts. This manufacturing technique ensures an ideal reproduction of the barrels' cylindrical shapes. Supplementary elements, such as conical barrel fairings, may be made from precision modeling resin or advanced photo-etched parts, to provide a comprehensive and accurate representation of the entire wing armament assembly.
Application and Compatibility
This detail set is intended for modelers who wish to enhance or correct their 1/144 scale Supermarine Spitfire models. It is compatible with most plastic model kits available on the market that depict the Spitfire with an early Wing E configuration. Assembly typically requires basic modeling skills, including precise cutting and gluing. This product is not a complete model but an auxiliary component, requiring integration with a base model kit.
Painting Recommendations
As a detail set, this product does not include dedicated painting schemes. It requires painting to match the overall camouflage scheme and historical colors of the final Supermarine Spitfire model. We recommend using acrylic, enamel, or lacquer model paints, following the main model's painting instructions and the preferred historical scheme of the chosen aircraft.
