The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVIII is based on the Rolls Royce Griffon powered Mk.XIV, featuring a whole host of improvements – from cockpit enhancements and increased fuel carrying capacity to strengthened wings that allowed the aircraft to carry rockets or bombs, as well as its cannon and machine gun armament. These powerful Spitfires saw action during ‘Operation Firedog’, as well as against Communist guerrillas during the Malayan Emergency.
The model kit captures this aircraft in 1:48 scale and it’s ideal for experienced model collectors. With two scheme options, it’s made up of 157 parts and recreates the Spitfire in authentic detail.
