Accurate 1/48 Scale Spitfire Mk.Vb with Crew

The Tamiya 89730 set recreates the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb at a 1/48 scale, providing a detailed model suitable for display. This limited edition includes seven RAF crew figures to add realistic activity around the aircraft.

Short History and Role

The Mk.Vb was fitted with the Rolls-Royce Merlin 45 and a strong armament package, which made it a key fighter from 1941 onwards. The model reflects that heritage and pairs the airframe with figures representing pilots and ground crew roles.

What Comes in the Box

Builders will find items to equip an airfield vignette, including ladders, a workbench and gas cylinders. The ICM-made figures are finely modelled to enhance composition and storytelling in your scene.

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Model Length: 193.3mm
  • Includes: 7 RAF crew figures and detailed accessory set
  • Markings: 4 types, including No.303 Sqn. aircraft

Does the kit include decal options?

Yes, the package provides four marking options, one of which covers No.303 Squadron aircraft as indicated in the instructions.

Are the figures suitable for close-up display?

The ICM figures included are detailed enough for close viewing when carefully assembled and painted, adding realism to small dioramas.

What paints are recommended for authenticity?

To match period appearance, use RAF-appropriate colours for the airframe and muted tones for crew uniforms; consult reference photos for exact shades.
