Full colour instructions
Decals by Cartograf
2x Marking Schemes Included
The most numerous of all British fighter aircraft produced during the Second World War, the Spitfire was conceived as a high speed interceptor by R. J. Mitchell, chief engineer of Supermarine. The first prototype flew in 1936 and made an instant impression. The Mk.Ia variant was powered by the formidable Rolls Royce Merlin V12 engine and armed with eight .303 machine guns. Several improvements and upgrades had been made by the time the aircraft was in service with the Royal Air Force during 1940 such as an armoured windscreen, blown canopy and three bladed propellers. This fast and nimble aircraft had superb flying qualities, which made it so beloved by the pilots who flew it.
The landing gear can be modelled as lowered or retracted, as well as optional bladeless propeller spinners to represent the aircraft in flight.
This kit contains high quality waterslide decal markings made by Cartograf, for two aircraft:
Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia, K9953, No. 74 Squadron, RAF Hornchurch, July 1940. Flown by Flight Lieutenant Adolph Gysbert “Sailor” Malan.
