This is a resin 1/48 Spitfire Mk IX 1-pc Bulged Upper Cowl from Ultracast.   The Eduard kit upper cowls are 2-pc resulting in a lot of time and effort to correct. Unfortunately surface detail is inevitably lost in the process. The Ultracast 1-pc upper cowl is a real time saver.

Clean up is very minimal and the cowl comes attached to the casting block with a very easy to manage connection point and removal is easily done with no loss of detail.  The detail level and casting quality is flawless including fine rivet detail. 

This 1 piece cowl makes the build process much easier with much better detail than using the Eduard kit cowling.  

You can buy this and many other detail items directly from Ultracast.
