Product description:

The Master AM-48-103 set enables an advanced and realistic conversion of your plastic Spitfire Mk.IXe or Mk.XVIe model into a late variant equipped with characteristic E-type wings with rounded gun fairings. The kit includes CNC-turned brass Hispano 20mm gun barrels and finely detailed Browning .50cal tips with two rounded fairings, ensuring full fidelity in the reproduction of the armament details of this British fighter legend.

During World War II, the Spitfire Mk.IXe and Mk.XVIe in the “late” variant provided vital support in key 1944-45 operations, including the Normandy landings and the air battles over Western Europe. These aircraft were operated not only by the RAF, but also by Polish Fighter Squadrons in the West and other Allied air forces.

Product advantages:

• Very high precision and durability – the metal parts are significantly more resistant to damage than their plastic equivalents.
• Easy assembly – simply cut off the plastic barrel, drill a hole, and glue in the new part using cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesive.
• Fully compatible with Eduard 1:48 scale models; also perfect for converting kits from other manufacturers with minor modifications.
• Enhances the reproduction of armament details and the model’s authenticity – appreciated by both beginner and advanced historic scale modelers.

We recommend this product to all modelers interested in realistic World War II Spitfire replicas. The Master AM-48-103 set stands for durability, ease of assembly, and a high level of detail. It’s the ideal choice for anyone modeling RAF or Allied aircraft in 1/48 scale!
