Eduard 1/48 Brassin Spitfire Mk.V Exhausts Fishtail
By Jacob Russell
This new pair of 1/48th scale Brassin exhaust stacks are intended for Airfix's new Supermarine Spitfire Mk.V kit.
This is a simple set of resin exhaust stacks. These are the "fishtail" variety and as such they look quite a bit different than the standard exhausts. The resin is up to Eduard's usual standards: highly detailed and well cast. The tips of the stacks are open and they accurately depict the subtly different shapes of the fishtail openings, along with weld seams where applicable.
I feel that "small details" such as exhaust stacks with open ends matter. My eyes gravitate to these areas when I examine models at contests. It's a good idea to find photographic references for Spitfires you want to model that deviate from the established standard with details such as fishtail exhausts, 4 spoke wheels rather than 5 spoke, etc.
I recommend this set and I would like to thank Eduard for providing the review sample.
