This brand new plastic model kit features the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I Fighter Aircraft in 1:48 scale by Airfix, designed for Level 2 builders. The kit comes in a brand new box with vintage-style packaging and is officially licensed, containing 149 detailed parts. Paint and cement are required but not included, and the parts are molded in light gray unless otherwise indicated. The assembled model measures approximately 7.5 inches in length and 9.125 inches in wingspan and includes decals to design the plane in three different schemes. The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I was the first production version of the legendary British fighter, designed by R.J. Mitchell and introduced to the Royal Air Force in the late 1930s. With its sleek elliptical wing, powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, and eight .303 Browning machine guns, the Spitfire represented a quantum leap in fighter design and performance, reaching speeds over 350 mph, climbing rapidly, and maneuvering with exceptional agility. No. 19 (Fighter) Squadron, based at RAF Duxford, was the first operational RAF unit to receive the Spitfire Mk.I in August 1938, transitioning from the Gloster Gauntlet biplane and developing tactics that would be critical in the Battle of Britain. When the Second World War broke out in September 1939, No. 19 Squadron and its Spitfires were among the first to patrol British skies, later playing a pivotal role in defending the UK during the Luftwaffe’s attacks in 1940. This 1:48 scale model captures the aircraft at the dawn of its legendary service, with finely rendered panel lines, accurate pre-war RAF insignia, and authentic squadron codes, offering a stunning tribute to the fighter that became a symbol of Britain’s defiance.
