Enter a Legend The iconic Spitfire fighter was one of the backbones of the RAF in the desperate struggle for the skies during WWII, sporting a refined design and aesthetically pleasing elliptical wing, plus the proven Rolls Royce Merlin engine. It first flew in March 1936, and some two and a half years later in August 1938 the first production Spitfires - the Mk.I - started to reach units. This Mk.I would have a vital role to play in the Battle of Britain as the RAF and Luftwaffe played out a titanic struggle for the skies, and the successful fighting off of the Luftwaffe ensured that the Spitfire earned international fame that continues even in the modern day. - This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Fuselage length: 191mm, wingspan: 235mm.- Superb accuracy is based upon in-depth examination of actual aircraft.- Parts are included to recreate various types of Mk.I front canopy, sights, antenna bases and pitot tubes.- The interior of the floorless cockpit is rendered in detail. ?Choose between open or closed canopy, each with dedicated parts for superb realism.- Comes with 1 seated pilot figure and three marking options including for aircraft in the Battle of Britain and Operation Dynamo. The refined form of the Spitfire with its flowing fuselage lines is captured with aplomb. Take a look from above at the distinctive elliptical wing and elegant shape in accurate 1/48. A look at the underside showcases plenty of detail, with clear parts for the identification lamp. Take a closer look at the Mk.I nose, with distinctive bulging cowls, exhausts and fuel filler cap. Assemble with open or closed canopy, and dedicated parts for each to ensure a highly realistic appearance. This image shows the parts lined up for each canopy option, including dedicated fuselage side section. A realistic pilot figure is included in the kit, in seated pose and with accurate uniform and equipment. Here is a close-up on the cockpit, with excellent molded detail enhanced by included photo-etched parts. A comparison of the 3 included types of front canopy: with and without bulletproof glass and rear view mirror. The kit includes a choice between standard sight (photo-etched parts) and reflector sight (clear parts). Under the port wing, the modeler can choose between single and forked type pitot tubes. A wide selection of photo-etched parts is included, to depict sight, seatbelt parts, radiator mesh and more. The model comes with a decal sheet, masking stickers for clear parts, and molded stickers. The kit is engineered to ensure proper fixing of photo-etched radiator mesh without compromising detail.
