Spitfire PR XI conversion set für Hasegawa Bausatz, 1/48 - Quickboost QB48 192

The Quickboost QB48 192 is a resin conversion set in 1/48 scale for Hasegawa Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX model kits. It allows you to turn the base model into a Spitfire PR Mk.XI, a photographic reconnaissance version of the famous British fighter.

The Spitfire PR XI was developed during the Second World War for air reconnaissance missions. Derived from the Merlin-engined Spitfire family, it was optimized for aerial photography and used to gather essential information on enemy installations, movements, and targets. This conversion is aimed at modelers who want to depict this specialized Spitfire variant using a compatible Hasegawa kit as the basis.

The QB48 192 reference is designed to be used together with the Quickboost camera set QB48 146 to create a complete PR XI conversion. The Hasegawa model kit used as the base, as well as the parts needed for painting and finishing, must be purchased separately.

As with any resin accessory intended for detailing or conversion, it is recommended to carefully remove the parts from the sprues, clean up the casting points, and check the fit before gluing. The use of cyanoacrylate glue is generally suitable for resin parts. Then, applying a primer will make painting easier and help you assess the quality of the surface preparation.

At 1/48 scale, each dimension of the real subject is reduced forty-eight times. This set is an interesting foundation for a project dedicated to photographic reconnaissance Spitfires and British aviation of the Second World War.
