One of the greatest symbols of the British Empires resistance against Nazi Germany was the Supermarine Spitfire fighter.

The armament consisted of 8 Browns, 7,7 mm, 4 per wing, allowing any German machine to be destroyed. Fighters have won the Battle of Britain. When they have had to fight with overwhelming opponent forces. During this campaign, the Spitfire pilots received the task of destroying enemies fighters so that the slower and less attackable Hurricanes could attack unprotected bombers. The heroic efforts of the pilots and the reliability of the machines reflected the airplanes reputation as a legend in the service. Over 20,000 Spitfires have been built in 25 different versions.
The Tamiya kit allows you to build the British Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I fighter aircraft from World War II. The box contains 2 frames with parts of the model, a frame with transparent elements of the fairing of the cab and decals (allow reconstruction of the machine with 92 or 601 Hunting Squad).
