1/48 Spitfire Mk-11

British Royal Air Force's premiere WWII fighter.

Together with the Me 109, the Spitfire is the best known aircraft of World War II. Over 22,500 were built in innumerable versions until long after the war ended. The engine developed for the Spitfire, the Merlin 12 cylinder starting at 1,175 hp, later rising to 1,720 hp, was so outstanding that it was built under licence in the USA. At the start of World War II the RAF had already introduced the Spitfire Mk I into its fighter units. Altogether 1,566 of the Spitfire Mk I had been built to equip 19 squadrons at the beginning of the Battle of Britain. By August 1940 the first Spitfire Mk IIs were rolling off the Supermarine assembly lines in Castle Bromwich. They were now equipped as standard with a 3 blade propeller and had been given additional armour-plating to protect the pilots. The Mk II version only played a minor role in the Battle of Britain due to its limited numbers. The total build of the Mk II type was 990.
