Precision Scale Spitfire Mk.XVIe Representation

The Supermarine Spitfire remains an iconic WWII fighter thanks to its graceful lines and combat record. R.J. Mitchell's design was refined through successive marks to meet wartime needs. The Mk.XVIe is notable for its Packard-built Merlin 266 powerplant, bubble canopy and strengthened armament suited to ground attack tasks.

Design Changes and Wartime Service

Mechanically similar to the Mk.IX, the Mk.XVIe added increased fuel capacity and heavier weapon options. These refinements extended operational range and adapted the type to a variety of late war missions across the continent.
