Eduard BIG49348 Spitfire F Mk. XVIII AIRFIX 1/48 – Expansion Set for 1/48 Scale Model

Eduard BIG49348 is a complete set of accessories dedicated to the legendary British fighter Spitfire F Mk. XVIII in 1/48 scale, designed for the Airfix kit. This solution is primarily aimed at demanding modelers who want to elevate the realism and detail of their model to the highest level. The British Supermarine Spitfire F Mk. XVIII was a modernized version of this legendary fighter, used by the RAF mainly at the end of World War II and in the post-war period up to the mid-1950s. The Spitfire F Mk. XVIII took part, among others, in operations in the British Colonies and Southeast Asia.

The BIG49348 set consists of four precisely made Eduard accessories, crafted from the highest quality materials:

• Photo-etched parts for detailed replication of the cockpit interior, instrument panel, handles and levers, and all the details requiring a realistic finish.
• Dedicated photo-etched landing flaps, allowing for a very detailed representation of this characteristic part of the aircraft, which is practically impossible to achieve using only the basic Airfix kit parts.
• STEEL-type metal seatbelts, faithful miniatures of the original belts used in the Spitfire, adding even more authenticity to the cockpit interior.
• High-quality EX885 masks facilitating the painting of the canopy and wheels, providing perfectly sharp lines and protection from paint overspray when using an airbrush.

The set is entirely made of precisely photo-etched metal sheets and STEEL thin stainless steel parts, maintaining ideal proportions in miniature and the highest level of detail.
