Hello All Well dispite help from Rattler I could not seem to get hold of the after sale parts for my MKVb namely landing flaps as I want it in the landing configuration I know Tamaiya do one but not Airfix,anyhow how the closes I got was Eduardo who did do some flaps for 1/24 scale they were photo etched and made from brass which I did not want to get into.So I decided to cut the flaps away from the model itself and see if I could do something with them. So I went to the local model shop and purchased some strips of modellers plastc to see if I could get some definition on the inside of the flap as Airfix made it the underside of the flap with nothiing on it ,as it would be glued to the top set of wings,so making out the riviting patern I sorta guessed were the support spars would be and glued the plastic strips accordingly.After some sanding and manipulation I came up with this what do you think? Does it work ?

Here is one for you its the AIRFIX spit MKVb http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001YA59UG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 It comes with a cool little electric motor that can be cleverly hidden in the engine block ,it has the usual Airfix fine detail,and cannon blisters for the wings check it out this really is a cool model and one for all you spitty fans hope the link works
