1:48 Eduard 82156 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Late – ProfiPACK Edition – British Fighter Aircraft Plastic Model kit

The 1:48 Eduard 82156 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Late ProfiPACK Edition is a carefully equipped plastic model kit of a British Second World War fighter aircraft. This kit focuses on the later Spitfire Mk.Vb version, with integrated armour glass in the windshield and asymmetrical bulges under the wings. It lets you build a recognisable RAF fighter with the elegant lines, historical presence and finishing options that make the Spitfire so popular among modellers.

The Supermarine Spitfire is probably the most famous British fighter of the Second World War. Designed under RJ Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine, the aircraft stood out with its all-metal construction, low-wing layout, characteristic elliptical wings, classic tail and retractable landing gear. The prototype first flew on 5 March 1936, and the first aircraft entered RAF units in 1938. By the Battle of Britain, 19 squadrons of modern fighters were already ready, and together with the Hurricanes, the Spitfire defended the British Isles.

The Mk.V was an important version within the Spitfire family. It received the Rolls-Royce Merlin 45 engine with 1440 hp, later also Merlin 50 engines, and entered series production in 1941 as the RAF response to the Messerschmitt Bf 109F. The Spitfire then served on almost every RAF front, including the Far East, North Africa, Italy, Normandy, France and Germany in 1945. With Eduard plastic parts, Eduard decals, six marking options, pre-painted PE parts and a painting mask, this ProfiPACK offers a strong basis for a clean and convincing 1:48 scale model.
