The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I is one of the most recognisable fighters from World War II thanks to its refined lines and agile handling. This Tamiya 1/48 scale kit reproduces the Spitfire's elegant profile and wing shape with attention to surface detail, making it a rewarding project for anyone building a period aircraft model. Its service during the Battle of Britain cements its place in aviation modelling.
Created by Reginald J. Mitchell and first flown in 1936, the Spitfire became prized for its performance. The kit models specific features like the asymmetrical radiator and oil cooler arrangement plus the retractable landing gear that improved the aircraft's aerodynamics. The external layout also reflects the eight 7.7mm machine guns fitted to the Mk.I.
