With its two metre wingspan, VMAR's latest Spitfire is one of the largest ARTF
kits of the breed available today. So if you like your WW2 warbirds on the
large side, then this semi-scale fighter could be just what you've been looking
for.
The Supermarine Spitfire was a British single-seat fighter, used by the Royal
Air Force and many other Allied countries during the Second World War, and into
the 1950s.It was produced in greater numbers than any other Allied design. The
Spitfire was the only Allied fighter in production at the outbreak of the
Second World War that was still in production at the end of the war.
Produced by the Supermarine subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrongs, the Spitfire was
designed by the company's Chief Designer R. J. Mitchell, who continued to
refine the design until his death from cancer in 1937; the position of chief
designer was then filled by his colleague, Joseph Smith. Its elliptical wing
had a thin cross-section, allowing a higher top speed than the Hawker Hurricane
and many other contemporary designs.
The distinctive silhouette imparted by the wing platform helped the Spitfire to
achieve legendary status during the Battle of Britain.
