A Brief History of the Supermarine Spitfire

Having a higher victory-to-loss ratio than the Hurricane, the Spitfire became the backbone of RAF Fighter Command after the Battle of Britain. It was widely used by the allies and saw action in the European, Mediterranean, Pacific, and South-East Asian theatres. Due to its high performance, the Spitfire serve in roles such as interceptor, photo-reconnaissance, fighter-bomber, and trainer until the 1950s.

A total of 20,341 units of Spitfire, including variants of different wing configurations and engines, were built. It continues to be popular among enthusiasts: nearly 60 remain airworthy, and many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world. This kit recreates the Mk Vb which is featured by the “b” wing of two 20mm cannon. The Mk V was produced in greater numbers than any other single mark of Spitfire and was supplied to the Soviet Union and the United States.
