Airfix A05126A Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1a 1:48 scale model kit

Airfix A05126A Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1a.

The Supermarine Spitfire was, by 1940, the interceptor of choice for Fighter Command. It was capable of speeds of over 360mph and had exceptional manoeuvrability. An excellent dog-fighter, the Spitfire Mark I is 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.

This model measures 192mm (length) by 232mm (width) and contains 149 parts.
