Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc 1:72 Scale Starter Set Model Kit

Description

Build one of Britain’s most famous fighter aircraft with the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc 1:72 Scale Starter Set, a detailed plastic model kit celebrating the legendary Royal Air Force aircraft of the Second World War.

The Supermarine Spitfire became an enduring symbol of British aviation, renowned for its elegant elliptical wings, exceptional performance and vital role during the Second World War. The Mk.V variant, introduced in 1941, became the most widely produced version of the Spitfire, featuring the powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 45 engine and an improved wing design that allowed different armament configurations.

This 1:72 scale Airfix Spitfire model kit allows enthusiasts to recreate the distinctive appearance of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc. Featuring 26 plastic parts, the model has been specially designed for straightforward assembly, making it an excellent introduction to aircraft scale modelling.

As an Airfix Skill Level 1 Starter Set, the kit includes the essential materials needed to begin building, including four acrylic paints, modelling glue, a paintbrush, decals and clear assembly instructions. A specially designed shadow-effect display stand is also included, allowing the completed Spitfire to be presented as though in flight.

Once assembled, the model measures approximately 13.1cm long with a wingspan of 15.7cm, creating a compact display piece for aviation enthusiasts and military history collectors. Building and painting the aircraft encourages patience, concentration, hand-eye coordination and attention to detail.

Suitable for ages 8 years and over, the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc Starter Set makes a wonderful birthday or Christmas gift for aspiring model makers, aviation enthusiasts and anyone interested in the history of the Royal Air Force.
