Tolga ULGUR Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) This is NOT the old Hasegawa s kit with all raised panel lines. This is the revised edition including new wings with engraved panel lines. That is, this Spitfire is a hybrid kit with old and raised panel lines on the fuselage and engraved panel lines on the wings.

Tolga ULGUR Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I decided to modify fuselage raised details. I made them engraved by using scriber. I do not like to deal with such things but I had to do. Shaka HI, mpk, Whitey and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Looks like the 5516 kit you were after Bill I bought this about eight or ten years ago from Great Models Webstore. Box still looks pretty young I thought this model had rested enough in my portfolio and decided to start Edited February 25, 2017 by Tolga ULGUR Shaka HI, mpk and williamj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 But your post title says MkV williamj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 But your post title says MkV Yes this will be finished as Mk.Va.. There are 3 major differences between MkI/II and V ( oil cooler, ailerons and wing armament if this is MkVb) No need to change wing armament because of the A wing. And most critical issue no need to modifiy oil cooler under the wing. (This has already Mk.V oil cooler.) In fact, Hasegawa s MkI and II oil cooler is not accurate. This is late style (Mk.V) oil cooler. So if you want to built a MkI or II you have to backdate this part. And finally Hasegawa s ailerons looks like more metal than the fabric.

MikeC Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yes, the revised oil cooler was due to the next mark of Merlin being installed. Looking forward to seeing this progress. williamj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
