1:48 Airfix 05140 Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.XVIII Plastic Model kit

The 1:48 Airfix 05140 Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.XVIII takes you back to the golden era of British aviation. Developed from the Griffon-powered Mk.XIV, the Mk.XVIII was designed as a refined ‘Super Spitfire’, offering improvements such as a larger fuel capacity, reinforced wings, and upgraded cockpit features. This meant the aircraft could not only carry its powerful cannons and machine guns but also rockets or bombs.

Although it arrived too late to see service in World War II, the Mk.XVIII proved itself during Operation Firedog and in combat against communist guerrillas during the Malayan Emergency. With this Airfix plastic model kit, you’re not just building a fighter aircraft – you’re recreating a piece of aviation history that shows how the legendary Spitfire continued to evolve.
