Why this kit matters The Supermarine Spitfire is one of the most iconic aircraft of the Second World War. As the RAF’s main fighter during the Battle of Britain, it played a pivotal role in the defeat of Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe. The MK.VB variant, especially the tropical version (TROP), was designed to operate in harsh conditions such as the hot, dusty climates of North Africa, where it proved highly effective in combat. This model captures the essence of the Spitfire in all its glory, from its sleek lines to its rugged tropical modifications, making it an essential piece for any WWII aviation collection. The addition of detailed cockpit components, armament, and accurate decals brings this piece of history to life.
