Trumpeter Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb 1:24 – build review

April 3, 2018 By Francis Porter


Feature Article with Chris Evans

A note from Geoff…
I don’t know whether you saw Chris’s stunning 1:24 scale Airfix Sea Harrier FA.2 in Aircraft-Finished Now-Airfix? If not, you should! It was an incredible project that ended with spectacular results. If that wasn’t enough he did a great job on Revell’s new 1:32 Me262B-1a and now we have Chris’s equally stunning Trumpeter 1:24 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb in Russian markings – simply wow! Simply some amazing scale modelling skills on offer here to help inspire you to maybe have a go at some new techniques to you? Whatever your interest, just soak it all up just like I am doing and looking for ways that I can improve my modelling too.

Chris’s full story will come to you over two parts and so let’s get into it now and just before we do…

Check out these photos of the completed project…

Over to you Chris…

Introduction/Background

This particular Spitfire formed part of the Lend/Lease programme offered to the Russian military during WW2. This aircraft, EP210, 538, was delivered to the 57th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment, 3rd Squadron in 1944 and was based at Kuban in Southern Russia.
Not a lot of reference exists for this aircraft. I only managed to find one original photo to work from. The yellow lightening flash was a contentious issue with some articles saying yes it had it and some saying no. The colour of the flash was open for a bit of discussion too, I decided to go with yellow. In my eye the picture does show some evidence of this marking so I went for it…
