Master AM-48-165 Spitfire Mk. IIb/Vb – lufy działek Hispano 20mm w osłonach (do modelu Eduarda) 1/48

The Master AM-48-165 set is a specialist modeling accessory dedicated to Eduard brand models depicting the British Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IIb and Mk. Vb fighter aircraft in 1/48 scale. This product was created with demanding modelers in mind, aiming to give their model the highest possible level of realism and detail. Each component in the set is made from top-quality, precisely turned brass, ensuring not only an excellent appearance but also lasting durability for years to come.

In the original, 20 mm Hispano Mk.II cannons were a key armament for the Spitfire Mk. IIb and Vb. These British aircraft played a significant role during World War II, especially between 1941 and 1945. The Spitfire Mk. Vb, equipped with Hispano cannons, actively supported the Allies in the Battle of Britain, combat over France, and operations in the Mediterranean. Accurate appearance and careful reproduction of this distinctive weapon is a crucial element in correctly building a replica of an aircraft from this era.

Why choose the Master AM-48-165 set? Brass barrels significantly surpass the original plastic parts in detail—they offer sharper features, are perfectly straight, and naturally reproduced down to the smallest details. Such an upgrade greatly enhances the finished model’s realism, particularly for those entering competitions or displaying their models at exhibitions.

We recommend this set for all advanced modelers as well as intermediates who want to improve their Spitfire’s quality. We rate the assembly difficulty at 3/5 due to the required precision when fitting metal barrels into the plastic wings of the model. It’s an excellent choice both for upgrading newly built models and for restoring older ones.
