1/48 Scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop from Tamiya 61035-400

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop is the desert-ready version of the classic fighter, modified for tough operating conditions. This 1/48 Tamiya kit conveys the Spitfires characteristic silhouette and tropical equipment. The Mk.Vb frequently used the Merlin type 45 engine, and the Trop variant is noted for its Vokes air filter installations to handle dusty environments. The kit is supplied in plastic and requires assembly and finishing by the modeller.

What makes the Trop variant different?

The Trop variant includes desert adaptations such as the Vokes air filter and other fittings to reduce engine wear from sand and dust. These details are reflected in the kit shapes.

Do I need special paints for this subject?

Use paints matched to period RAF or desert camouflage schemes. Acrylic or enamel model paints suitable for plastic are recommended, applied in thin coats for best results.

Is the kit good for display or dioramas?

The accurate external detail and correct scale make this kit suitable for standalone display or as part of a small desert diorama when combined with appropriate bases and figures.
