Guillow's Supermarine Spitfire Mk-1 16.5" Wingspan Balsa Kit# 504
The Supermarine Spitfire was Britain’s most successful fighter in WW2. The Spitfires were in the forefront of the fighting on every front and in every major action fought by the R.A.F. No combat fighter is more deserving of its legendary reputation as the one truly immortal warplane to emerge from WW2. It was the only Allied fighter aircraft of the Second World War to fight in front line service, from the beginnings of the conflict, in Sept 1939, through to the end in August 1945.
