1:72 IBG Models 72600 Supermarine Spitfire PR Type G - Playing with Death WWII - British Reconnaissance Aircraft Plastic Model kit

With the 1:72 IBG Models 72600 Supermarine Spitfire PR Type G - Playing with Death, you can build a lesser-known but highly important reconnaissance version of one of the most famous aircraft of the Second World War. While many photo-reconnaissance Spitfires relied on altitude and speed for protection, the PR Type G was developed specifically for dangerous low- and medium-altitude missions. That meant flying directly over targets, often within range of anti-aircraft guns, machine-gun fire and enemy fighters.

The PR Type G retained its fighter armament so the pilot could defend the aircraft if necessary. Even so, the priority always remained completing the reconnaissance mission and returning with the photographic intelligence. Armed reconnaissance Spitfires of this type helped obtain detailed images of German radar installations and locate and photograph German warships concealed in Norwegian fjords. That combination of precision, speed and exceptional airmanship makes the PR Type G a fascinating subject for enthusiasts of RAF reconnaissance aircraft and unusual Spitfire variants.
