Historical: The legendary Spitfire fighter plane was introduced in 1936. The short-range, high-performance, single-seat aircraft gained notoriety in defense against Luftwaffe attacks during the Battle of Britain in 1940. As a mainstay of the Royal Air Force Fighter Command its speed and maneuverability were essential to carrying out its missions across the European and South-East Asian WWII theaters. The Spitfire was beloved by pilots, and in its many variants it served as trainer, interceptor, fighter-bomber and carrier-based fighter during the 1939-45 conflict. Its iconic status among enthusiasts has held strong in the ensuing years since its retirement from active service in the 1950s.

Another fine product from Authentic Models, the elegant lines of one of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed, the Spitfire. Easily assembled in ten minutes, excellent workmanship, devoid of flaws, this silver metal Spitfire is yours to paint if desired, or just leave her in the raw sliver identify. I plan to have this beauty professionally painted in Battle of Britain colours. Identify yet to be determined, possibly George Beurling, or Bader or Stanford-Tuck. A must have for any and all Spitfire collectors. Thank you Dave.
