More on the Classic Airframes/Eduard Spitfire VC;
http://www.eduard.cz/ Eduard have released this model with extra resin parts, including six stack exhaust systems which were used by some VCs in the Mediterranean, with markings options for a Free French example from GR II/33, the VC flown by New Zealander Wg Cdr Johnny Checketts leading 142 Wing 2 TAF based in England (2 options -with or without D-Day stripes) or a 40(SAAF) Sqn aircraft.
One very interesting detail about the model. When I first saw the fuselage mouldings I noticed that some of the panels on the rear fuselage and around the rear wingroots are slightly raised, leaving a slight but noticable step in the mouldings. At first I was disappointed because I took this to be a problem with the moulds themselves. It turned out that the mould makers had noticed that the fuselage panels of the real Spitfire VC they had used as a pattern were like this. Now that I have examined photos of Spitfire VCs especially this was indeed a feature; this photo by Mark Mills just shows the effect which has been captured by this kitset.
