Description

The iconic Spitfire Mk I, with its sleek nose and elliptical wings, epitomized the British defense during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Equipped with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, it reached speeds of up to 590 km/h and had a wingspan of 11 meters. Its cab, which was reproduced in detail, was a testament to the engineering of the time. The pilots relied on their agility and firepower, with eight Browning machine guns. The Tamiya model includes two schematics of aircraft that fought in the Battle of Britain.
