The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I stands out among World War II fighters for its graceful lines and combat performance. This Tamiya 1/48 scale model kit carefully captures the Spitfire's tapered elliptical wings and signature silhouette, giving modellers a faithful external reproduction to assemble and display. Its association with the Battle of Britain makes it a sought after subject for historical model collections.
Designed by Reginald J. Mitchell and first flown in 1936, the Spitfire became noted for speed and manoeuvrability. The kit reproduces the asymmetrical radiator and oil cooler layout along with the retractable landing gear that improved aerodynamics. The model also reflects the aircraft's armament, showing the eight 7.7mm machine guns for an authentic period look.
