Hobby Boss 1/32 Spitfire MK.Vb Airplane Model Kit - 83205
>>>> Only $58.68 Best Buy Late in 1940, the RAF predicted that the advent of the pressurised Junkers Ju 86P bomber series over Britain would be the start of a new sustained high altitude bombing offensive by the Luftwaffe, in which case development was put in hand for a pressurised version of the Spitfire, with a new version of the Merlin (the Mk VI). It would take some time to develop the new fighter and an emergency stop-gap measure was needed as soon as possible: this was the Mk V. The basic Mk V was a Mk I with the Merlin 45 series engine. This engine delivered 1,440 hp at take-off, and incorporated a new single-speed single-stage supercharger design. Improvements to the carburettor also allowed the Spitfire to use zero gravity maneuvers without any problems with fuel flow. Several Mk I and Mk II airframes were converted to Mk V standard by Supermarine and started equipping fighter units from early 1941. The majority of the Mk Vs were built at Castle Bromwich. Kit features engraved panel lines and rivets, well detailed cockpit, full engine, firewall and forward fuselage bulkheads, internal fuel tank, separate gun and engine access panels, radio bay detail, entry hatch, full wing cannon and machine guns with magazines/ammunition belts, separately molded control surfaces, segmented canopy, centerline bomb with rack, vinyl main tires and photo-etch parts (seatbelts, pilot armor and oil cooler screens).
