3D Kits have released a long range conversion set for a 1/72 Spitfire II. 3D have also announced the future release of a conversion set to produce the tank busting Hurricane MkIID in 1/72.

1/72 Spitfire Mk II Long range conversion kit.
To increase the Spitfire's range about 100 Mk II's were adapted in 1941 to carry a non detachable fuel tank under the port wing. These served with 66, 152 and 188 Squadrons. The tank gave a useful increase in range and allowed Spitfires to escort bombers on daylight raids to the continent, but speed and maneuverability suffered.

Featuring long-run injection moulded parts with fine recessed panel lines, our conversion set is designed for the new Airfix Spitfire (A02010), but with minor adaption can be used on other Spitfire kits as well. The set includes high quality decals printed by Fantasy Printshop for two aircraft (6 & 152 Squadrons). Roundels are not included.
Ref no: 72-C002
price: £4.75.

1/72 Hurricane IID Conversion.
To counter Axis armour, the British introduced a tank busting version of the Hurricane. Armed with two Vickers 40mm cannon they had the same effect as an armour-piercing rocket, but were four times more accurate. First fitted to the Hurricane as the Mk IID, they were also used on the later Hurricane Mk IV. Hurricane IID's saw service in North Africa, the Far East and in the UK.

Featuring long-run injection moulded parts, our conversion set is designed for any 1:72 Hurricane IIC kit. It provides both faired and unfaired versions of the cannon, full breech detail and the 40mm ammunition boxes used for transporting shells. The set includes high quality decals printed by Fantasy Printshop for three aircraft. Roundels are not included.
Ref no: 72-C003.
Cost: £5.95
