Description

Product Description .

First flown in 1936, the Supermarine Spitfire is the most legendary and famous fighter plane in history. It was a complex and high tech plane for the 1930’s and was difficult to produce in numbers at first. However when war arrived the production problems were eventually sorted and it was produced in greater number than any other allied fighter. Indeed it was the only Allied fighter in constant production in WW2.

It was also capable of development and this development kept it in line with the best fighters from other nations. The Spitfire rose to fame during the Battle of Britain. Despite the Hurricane being more numerous and shooting down more enemy planes, it was the Spitfire that captured the world’s imagination, something which it still does today.

This is Eduard’s New tool kit of the Spitfire Mk V, following their previous excellent 1/48 early Spitfire kits. This is a double kit (2 kits in 1 box) and the set comes with etch metal parts and canopy masks for both kits. It also has decals for 12 different Spitfire Vc’s. This set covers a wide range of modelling options for Spifire Mk.Vc’s, including standard and clipped wings, tropical filters, different camouflage options, 4 cannon Vc, plus aircraft of the RAF, RAAF, USAAF and Yugoslav AF.
