The Supermarine Spitfire is one of history's most iconic fighter aircraft and was a backbone of the RAF's defence during World War II. With its graceful elliptical wings and powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, the Spitfire Mk.I was the first production version to reach RAF units. It fought with distinction during the evacuation of Dunkirk and, most famously, in the desperate aerial duels of the Battle of Britain, where it secured its legendary status.

This 1/48 scale kit from Tamiya is a definitive replica of the early Spitfire Mk.I, based on in-depth study of actual aircraft. It offers a wealth of options to build different early Mk.I variations, including a choice of three different front canopies, two types of gunsight, and different pitot tubes. The kit includes an extensive photo-etched fret for ultimate realism, a seated pilot figure, and three marking options for aircraft from the Battle of Britain and Operation Dynamo.
