About product

Eduard 1:48 Spitfire Mk.Vc: landing gear legs (3D printed)

This is a detail set, not an aircraft kit. The package does not contain a Spitfire model: it is an accessory intended to improve the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc kit in 1:48 scale from the firm Eduard. The parts are made by direct 3D printing, a technology that allows finer detail and sharper edges than can be reached with injection-molded plastic.

What it is for

The main landing gear legs are among the most exposed places on a Spitfire model: they are seen from close up, they carry the whole weight of the finished model, and at the same time they show the simplification of the plastic parts more than anything else. The printed replacement offers a truer shape for the struts, cleaner transitions and detail that is missing from the plastic parts or filled in. The material is also stiffer than softer plastic legs, so it spreads less under a model on display.

Fitting and painting

  • Separate the parts carefully from the print supports, best with a sharp cutter or a fine saw rather than by snapping them off.
  • Sand the remains of the supports away with fine abrasive paper; sand wet and protect your airways.
  • Before painting, wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water and let them dry thoroughly.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) or epoxy; ordinary cement for polystyrene does not work here.
  • Always apply a primer and only then the color; put it on in thin coats so that the detail is not clogged.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who are building the Spitfire Mk.Vc in 1:48 and want to take the quality of the landing gear beyond the level of the box.
  • More experienced builders who know how to work with printed parts and cyanoacrylate glue.
  • Exhibitors whose model is looked at from close up.

This is not an airplane model but an accessory to another kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
