Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I - 1:48
Product Code:
A05126B
The Supermarine Spitfire is arguably the most famous
and beautiful fighter aircraft ever to grace the skies. First flying in
1936, R.J. Mitchell’s masterpiece was the interceptor of choice for
Fighter Command by 1940, and the envy of many of the world’s air arms.
Powered by the equally famous Rolls Royce Merlin V12, the Spitfire was
capable of speeds of over 360mph and had exceptional manoeuvrability.
