Tamiya 25211: Spitfire Mk.I and Light Utility Car 10HP set details

The Tamiya 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I & Light Utility Car 10HP Set pairs two historically relevant models in one release, offering a faithful 1/48 rendition for display and study. Attention has been paid to period detail and realistic assembly.

Historical background and scale fidelity

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I was a frontline RAF fighter in the opening stages of the conflict, admired for its aerodynamics. This kit aims to reflect those proportions and includes photo-etched components to improve fine detail and authenticity.

The Light Utility Car 10HP is modelled to represent the small vehicles that supported personnel and light transport duties. Builders can present the vehicle with an open or closed cargo cover depending on the scene they wish to create.

Box contents and builder guidance

The Spitfire assembly features a seated pilot figure and three different marking options to depict various units. The kit provides decals, masking stickers and moulded stickers to assist with accurate painting and insignia placement.

The Light Utility Car includes a driver figure and period markings including RAF insignia, making it a compact but effective addition to any WWII vignette or cabinet display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Spitfire Length: 191mm
  • Spitfire Wingspan: 235mm
  • Utility Car Length: 84mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes photo-etched parts, decals, and figures
Marking options are based on period references and allow representation of different squadrons. For museum-level accuracy, cross check the decal schemes with reference photographs before finalising paint.
Small parts can sometimes be replaced through hobby retailers or directly from the manufacturer. Keep sprues and unused parts in case you need to swap minor components.
At 1/48 scale both models sit well together visually. The proportions make them suitable for small airfield dioramas or grouped cabinet displays where detail is still appreciable at close range.
