1/48th Scale Hasegawa Spitfire Mk VB

This model was built straight out the box using the Hasegawa Spitfire Mk VB kit, kit number. This release included the markings for a 40 squadron SAAF aircraft. The only issue one needs to be aware of is the 40 squadron SAAF were a low level photo- reconnaissance squadron and were thus fitted with the oblique camera in the fuselage where the radio set was normally fitted. I reproduced this by using a spare panel from the Airfix Spitfire Mk24. The model was finished off in standard RAF desert colours and the decals were applied.
