Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire PRXIX 1:48 (A05119)
The Mk XIX was the last and most successful photographic reconnaissance
variant of the Spitfire. It combined features of the Mk XI with the Griffon
engine of the Mk XIV.
After the first 25 (type 389s) were produced,
later aircraft were also fitted with the pressurised cabin of the MkX and
the fuel capacity was increased to 256 gallons, three-and-a-half times that
of the original Spitfire. The first MkXIXs entered service in May 1944, and,
by the end of the war, the type had virtually replaced the earlier Mk XI. A
total of 225 were built with production ceasing in early 1946.
Features include optional dropped flaps, poseable rudder, open or closed
canopy option ,detailed camera parts, fine surface detail and optional
undercarriage up or down.
