Master AM-72-003 Supermarine Spitfire Vb – Hispano 20mm Cannons in Fairings (1:72)

The Master AM-72-003 Supermarine Spitfire Vb - Hispano 20mm cannons in fairings set is a high-quality accessory for modelers, dedicated to the legendary Supermarine Spitfire fighter in its Vb version with the distinctive "B" type wing. The set is available in 1:72 scale and allows for the precise reproduction of the aircraft's armament, which was crucial during World War II.

The Supermarine Spitfire was a British fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and Allied air forces during World War II (years 1939–1945). The Vb version was widely used in combat operations on many fronts, including aerial battles over Western Europe, North Africa, and the Mediterranean islands. Equipping the aircraft with 20mm Hispano cannons gave it significant firepower superiority over German opponents, making it one of the most formidable fighters of that era.

• Scale: 1:72
• Users: United Kingdom and Allied forces
• Historical period: World War II
• Material: turned brass barrels
• Compatibility: Supermarine Spitfire Vb with B-wing

The set includes precisely crafted Hispano gun barrels made of brass, which are mounted in place of the original plastic parts of the model. Using high-quality turned metal ensures much greater detail, improves durability, and enhances the overall realism of the model—the details are far better reproduced than with standard plastic parts. Installation is very easy: simply cut off the plastic barrels, drill a hole, and attach the metal part using cyanoacrylate glue.

Master AM-72-003 is recommended for both less experienced modelers seeking a striking upgrade for their models and advanced hobbyists who care about the highest level of realism. The product is especially recommended for building display models, dioramas, or contest entries where every detail counts. The assembly difficulty level is 2/5—basic skill in working with plastic and assembling small parts is required.
