"Top quality Spitfire"
5 stars"

A really fantastic kit all round. A very detailed cockpit, everything fits really well and finished off with high quality decals. Highly recommended.

"Having only looked at it out of the package, am impressed"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Having been a Spitfire fan since very young, now 72, couldn't resist the opportunity to buy this with my only reservation being it may be too simple! Prior to this I have build mainly race cars, but from what I can see this has heaps of detail to create into a great model! My modelling is done when we are away camping at xmas so I now have two excellent challenges from Mightyape for this year: Jensen Button Formula one McLaren and the Spitfire

"Easy to follow instructions with a good result"

Good details apart from no landing or navigation lights. Present in the Hurricane but not Spitfire!

Description

The Supermarine Spitfire is arguably the most famous and beautiful aircraft ever to grace the skies. First flying in 1936, R.J. Mitchell's mas­terpiece was, by 1940, the interceptor of choice for Fighter Command, and the envy 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 The Spitfire was an excellent dog-fighter, with it's ability to turn inside an opponent; a great strength in the struggles over southern England and the English Channel during the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940.

The Spitfire Mk1 has come to be seen as a symbol of ‘The Few’, vital to the defence of the United Kingdom against the previously all-conquering Luftwaffe. Along with the Hurricane, it cemented its place in history during the Battle of Britain and continues now to be a hugely desirable ‘warbird’ at air shows.
