Craft the Tamiya 61119 - 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I with scale accuracy

The Supermarine Spitfire earned its place in aviation history during the Battle of Britain thanks to its elegant elliptical wings and the potent Merlin engine. This Tamiya 1/48 entry reproduces that classic silhouette and gives builders a chance to recreate a historically significant fighter with careful engineering and fine detail.

Accurate shape and engraved panel detail

The Mk.I is represented with attention to aerodynamic form and surface detail. Tamiya's tooling delivers well defined panel lines and a cockpit layout that reflects the original aircraft. Modellers will find the molded parts and fine detailing suitable for close-up display and photographic work.

Assembly highlights and finishing options

This 1/48 kit is designed to reward careful assembly, with separate landing gear and control surfaces that improve realism. Photo-etched components are supplied for delicate elements like the radiator and gun sight, enabling a detailed finish when combined with careful painting and weathering techniques.

This kit is best for intermediate modellers familiar with small-scale assembly and painting. Allow several evenings for careful construction and detailing, longer if you plan extensive weathering.
Use plastic cement for joins and fine CA glue for small details when needed. Acrylics or enamel paints both work well; primers and thin coats help preserve engraved panel lines.
Yes, the 1/48 scale market has photo-etch and resin upgrades that enhance cockpits, guns and antennas. Check compatibility for Mk.I variants and plan minor trimming for some resin items.
