The UK’s Fantasy Print Shop has released another set of 1/48 decals in their Euro Decals range, this one covering the Spitfire Vb.

There are a very generous 11 options available – these are as follows:

  1. Spitfire LF Mk.Vb, BL415 AZ-B, flown by Flight Lieutenant Walt “Jonnie” Johnston of 234 (Madras Presidency) Squadron, Royal Air Force, based at RAF Deanland and used on spotting operations over the D-Day beaches, 6th June 1944.
  2. Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop, ER228 ZX-6 of 145 Squadron, Royal Air Force, Egypt 1942.
  3. Spitfire Mk.Vb W3458 YQ-X flown by Flight Lieutenant Les “Buck” Casson of 616 (South Yorkshire) Squadron, Royal Air Force, RAF Tangmere, 9th August 1941.
  4. Spitfire Mk.Vb EP464 NN-E of 310 (Czech) Squadron, Royal Air Force, Exeter, July 1942.
  5. Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop JK792 WR-O of 40 Squadron, South African Air Force, Italy, 1944.
  6. Spitfire Mk.Vb W3458 JU-E of 111 Squadron, Royal Air Force, North Weald, October 1941.
  7. Spitfire Mk.Vb EP254 DW-B flown by Squadron Leader J. E. “Jonnie” Johnson, CO of 610 (County of Chester) Squadron Royal Air Force, West Malling, 19th August 1942.
  8. Spitfire LF Mk.Vb EP644 RY-S of 313 (Czech) Squadron Royal Air Force, RAF Church Stanton (aka Culmhead), March 1943.
  9. Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop AB254 GN-H of 249 Squadron Royal Air Force, Ta’Qali, Malta, 1942.
  10. Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop ER622 WR-D of 40 Squadron South African Air Force, Gabes, North Africa, April 1943.<
  11. Spitfire Mk.Vb BL753 YO-H flown by Pilot Officer Don Blakeslee of 401 (Ram) Squadron Royal Canadian Air Force, RAF Gravesend, May 1942.

The set includes full-colour instruction sheets with four-views for all options. The decals are nicely printed with a glossy finish; colour saturation appears to be excellent and the colours for the national markings appear to be very good. There are no stencils included, so those would need to be sourced from the base kit.

These decals will be suitable for any of the numerous Spitfire Vb kits on the market and can be recommended. My thanks to Fantasy Print Shop for the review sample.
