About product

The fighter that decided the battle over England

In the summer of 1940 the Spitfire Mk.I was the most modern machine of the British fighter force. Its elliptical wing, the Merlin engine and eight machine guns made it an opponent to be reckoned with. It was precisely the first production version that bore the main weight of the fighting over southern England, when the outcome was decided by minutes of climb and a few seconds in the gunsight.

Contents of the kit

  • 149 parts in hard polystyrene
  • The landing gear to choose extended or retracted
  • The canopy both open and closed
  • Movable control surfaces and an elaborate cockpit interior
  • Three variants of color scheme and markings

Dimensions and difficulty

The finished model has a wingspan of 232 mm. The difficulty corresponds to the second level, that is a build for a modeler who has already tried several simpler sets and manages work with decals and masking. The recommended age is from eight years.

What is included and what is not

In the box you will find the plastic sprues, the instructions, an overview of the color schemes and a small decal sheet. Paints, glue and tools are obtained separately. For the cockpit interior it pays off to consider additional photo-etched belts and an instrument panel, because under an open canopy the interior is clearly visible. Do not forget masking templates for the framed glazing; masking by hand is the most time-consuming part of the work with a canopy of this type.

FAQ

According to the data of the manufacturer it is 149 parts in hard polystyrene, completed with printed documentation and a small sheet with the markings.

The wingspan is 232 mm, so the model needs roughly a quarter of a meter of free room on a shelf.

The difficulty corresponds to the second level. A complete newcomer will manage it, as long as he takes care with the decals and the masking of the framed glazing.

The sheet offers three schemes of British machines from the period of the fighting over England in 1940.

They are not. The box contains the plastic sprues, the decals and the printed documentation; the rest of the equipment is bought separately.
