Tamiya 89730 Limited Edition 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb with RAF Crew  [89730]

High fidelity 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb and Crew Pack

The Tamiya 89730 kit presents a finely modelled representation of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb, reproduced at 1/48 scale for accurate display work. This limited edition release captures the silhouette and character of the aircraft alongside seven RAF crew figures to populate a realistic scene.

Operational Background of the Mk.Vb

The Spitfire Mk.Vb gained recognition for its Rolls-Royce Merlin 45 powerplant and its potent armament, making it a mainstay in combat from 1941 onwards. The kit texturises that history by including crew figures depicting pilots and ground staff, giving model displays a human element.

Kit Contents and Diorama Accessories

This set is designed to support an RAF airfield vignette, with add-ons such as ladders, a service bench and gas cylinders included. The seven crew figures are produced by ICM and show carefully sculpted poses that improve scene dynamics.
