Warbirds | Spitfire Vokes Filter
Reviewed by Mark Proulx
Warbirds Productions has just released a number of new 1/32nd scale resin update sets. In this review, we will have a closer examination of the Vokes Tropical Air Filter as fitted to the Hawker Hurricane.
The new filter is a high quality casting as we have come to expect from Warbirds. The surface detail is scribed with recessed panel lines. It is designed to be a direct replacement for the item supplied in the kit. The only task for the modeler to perform is to remove a large resin casting block from the rear of the filter. .
I placed the new filter against the Revell fuselage and found it to be a perfect fit. I also compared the filter to the item supplied in the Revell kit. The Warbirds product is more scale like in appearance with a slightly smaller intake. Overall, I consider it an improvement to the item supplied in the box. No instructions are included and are not required due to the simplicity of the installation.
Warbirds Productions Warbirds UK and Warbirds US is continuing to broaden their product line into new 1/32nd scale subjects. I am sure that this will be welcome news to many large scale modelers. I recommend this item without hesitation.
