Tamiya 1/48 spitfire mk. 1

Enter a legend

The iconic spitfire fighter was one of the backbones of the raf in the desperate struggle for the skies during wwii, sporting a refined design and aesthetically pleasing elliptical wing, plus the proven rolls royce merlin engine. It first flew in march 1936, and some two and a half years later in august 1938 the first production spitfires - the mk. I - started to reach units. This mk. I would have a vital role to play in the battle of britain as the raf and luftwaffe played out a titanic struggle for the skies, and the successful fighting off of the luftwaffe ensured that the spitfire earned international fame that continues even in the modern day
