Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire VA - 1:72 (A02102)
Without doubt, the Supermarine Spitfire was one of the
most important aircraft of WWII, with more being produced that any other
British aircraft type – it was also in production throughout the war. The
Mk.V version of the Spitfire was produced in greater numbers than any other
mark and gave the RAF a combat advantage throughout most of 1941.
Entering service with No.92 Squadron at Biggin Hill, the Spitfire Va was
powered by the new Merlin 45 engine and incorporated the ‘a’ wing, which
retained the eight machine gun armament of earlier machines. Pitted against
the Messerschmitt Bf 109F, the Spitfire Va proved to be superior at higher
altitudes and was generally more heavily armed. As the most produced
version, the Spitfire mark V saw significant development during its service
career.
