Eduard 481055 Spitfire Mk.II landing flaps EDUARD 1/48

Eduard 481055 Spitfire Mk.II landing flaps is an advanced photo-etched metal set designed for Supermarine Spitfire Mk.II models in 1/48 scale, intended for Eduard kits. This product is an excellent addition to any plastic model, allowing the mechanism of the landing flaps to be replicated with incredible precision that will be appreciated by both experienced modellers and those aspiring to a professional level of realism.

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.II is one of the most recognizable fighter aircraft of World War II, used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) of Great Britain in the early stages of the conflict. The Mk.II participated, among others, in the Battle of Britain, with its period of service dating to 1940–1941.

Unlike standard plastic accessories, the Eduard 481055 landing flaps are made from high-quality photo-etched metal. This allows for a faithful recreation of the construction details and perforations, providing an ultra-realistic appearance to the model – both for macro photography and for viewing in person. This set enables precise replication of both the closed and open landing flaps, offering wide possibilities for diorama arrangements or individual modelling projects.
