- Part 1 of my full build video for the Airfix Spitfire Mk.Vb in 1/48 scale with the Vokes tropical filter added. I also use the Eduard photo etch set, Brassin exhausts, Master metal barrels and Eduard masks for the canopy.
Good vid. I have a tip for you to get perfect wing root joints every time. Stick the upper wing to the fuselage before you fit the lower wing. Perfect join every time.
Thnx for the tip, Friend!
I built this kit a year or so ago. Great detail out of the box. You did a nice job with the detailing! I had the exact same fit issue. Had to sand down some of the IP and bulkhead to get the engine cover on. Glad to know it’s a problem with the kit and it wasn’t me that caused the issue😀 Rest of the build is fine.
Selling point on the Vb and the re-engineered Mk. Ia is the separate cockpit tub. No need to sand down the interior if you want to replace the tub with a resin one. Good video, BTW.
Great vid cool music. Overall rlly good keep up the good work
nice airfix plane and nice video see you on second part
Thanks
When this kit arrived to the market, I was a little concerned about the shape at some points, specially where the spinner meets the engine 38:41. From what I see in your video, Airfix has done a great job with this kit. You too.
That looks so nice
Well done..and pleasant video! 😉
Fine work, mate!
Thanks! 👍
Hi Jas, hope you are all on ? What a grand video you've done a great job buddy !! Stay safe matey
Looking good so far mate! Did this kit few years ago.Its a great kit.Yeah The dark earth looks a little out.Super video and look forward to the next one 🍻👍
Cheers mate 👍
Really enjoying this mate as I am looking to move from 1:72 to 1:48 aircraft. 👍
I’m enjoying 1/48 for sure but I keep itching for the ease of 1/72, more hiding places 😉
Excelente vídeo saludos desde Chile a mi también me encanta los aviones y él aeromodelismo y feliz navidad 😎👍🇨🇱
17:13 the boxy one is the water/glycol cooler for the liquid engine cooling system.
The round one is the oil cooler.
The carburetor air intake obviously is under the chin to the Volkes filter
Technically all coolers have both air intakes and outlets.
The dark earth should have been applied first and then the sea grey. The instructions clearly indicated that this aircraft was originally painted d. earth/mid stone (d. earth sprayed first and then mid stone) and then over painted with sea grey. In part 2 the roundels are too far back and probably a little inboard. The roundel should be fully on the wing and not on the aileron , and just behind the leading edge. The outer walkway demarcation lines should be a little further out, in line with the wing tip panel line. The roundel would then fit in the space between the demarcation lines.
14:00 Linkin Park memories😭
stop apologizing for the lighting it seems fine to me.
Very well detailed build but what is your reference material? I was of the opinion that the fuel tank cover was slightly wider than the fuselage - see Paul Budzig 'Scale model Workshop'
17:13 the larger one in your left hand is the oil cooler, the smaller on in your right hand is the air intake :)
The larger one was the radiator cooler, the small was the oil cooler and the air intake was in the center of the wing under the fuselage.
'White tack' may leave a greasy residue/mark - Take care!
I think Airfix's 1/48 Hawker Hurricane (new tool) is better than their 1/48 Spitfire Mk.I/V. (Airfix Spitfire is still pretty good though, however I prefer Tamiya's new tool Spitfire Mk.I)
Great build, but the two parallel ribs on the upper wings which are parallel to the fuselage were not on the Mk Vb wings. Sorry, I'm a Spitfire nerd
Do you need to remove the paint before you glue parts together?
ur very precise compliments :), could you tell me the name of the music at 5:49?

Question what are those sprew cutters you are using?
Ah good question they’re from eBay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jewellery-Tweezers-Like-Nippers-Disperse-Tiniest-Parts-Double-Honed-Tips-S-Steel/252867108464?clk_rvr_id=1378362579707&rmvSB=true&pageci=4c7bfc1e-a422-4b44-900d-3821417dd446&epid=931675948
Where did you get the wee drill bits
Hi mate I'm building hobby 2000s MkVa that pannal line at the front I see it on some mkVs on that great channel the guys talking about all variants but see people remove it!? Your tamiya kit the wee bit is separate on couling behind props so would that definitely be removed on a mkV? Just don't understand much about spitfires just now being my first change over from armour! All learning just now! Any helps great
Basically That panel at the end comes in at Mk IXs so should be removed for all previous versions, there are times it crops up but they’re rare
Hi probably first
Would be much better without the crappy music.
To be honest Airfix is no longer classy products...
More accurately, Airfix is random now. Some of the kits are excellent, and some are very bad. This one is about above average+ for the brand; The trouble for Airfix is the best of its kits is so-so Tamiya. In fairness to Airfix, this is not its go-to scale; while it makes some great 1:48 scale models like the Defiant, its best work is still at 1:72 scale. Sort of.
