About product

Spitfire prototype K5054 1:72 – a limited edition 3D-printed kit from IBG (the MRM line)

A limited edition 3D-printed kit for experienced modelers from the MRM line by IBG models (the manufacturer's part number A720001) captures the original Supermarine Spitfire prototype, serial number K5054, exactly in its first flight configuration. The set contains fine 3D-printed parts, a 3D-printed figure of the test pilot, a vacuum-formed snap-vac canopy, Techmod decals and a set of masks. The run is limited to about 400 examples.

The real subject

K5054 first flew on 5 March 1936 from Eastleigh aerodrome, with chief test pilot Joseph Mutt Summers at the controls. The machine from the drawing board of designer R. J. Mitchell was powered by an early Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. At this stage the prototype flew with a polished metal surface and without armament. K5054 was destroyed in a crash on 4 September 1939.

Building and painting tips

This is a 3D-printed kit for more experienced modelers. Before building, wash the parts free of print resin residue, cut the print supports off carefully and let them dry thoroughly; protect your breathing while sanding. Use super glue (cyanoacrylate) for gluing. The characteristic bare polished metal is best captured with metallic shades; the masks supplied make it easier to spray the canopy framing cleanly.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of aviation history and lovers of the Spitfire
  • experienced modelers with experience of 3D-printed kits
  • anyone interested in limited and collector's editions
  • builders of themed display cases on the beginnings of the Royal Air Force

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
