With its graceful elliptical wings and powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, the Spitfire Mk.I was the first production version to reach RAF units. It fought with distinction during the evacuation of Dunkirk and, most famously, in the desperate aerial duels of the Battle of Britain, where it secured its legendary status.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/48 scale kit from Tamiya is a definitive replica of the early Spitfire Mk.I, based on in-depth study of actual aircraft. It offers a wealth of options to build different early Mk.I variations, including a choice of three different front canopies, two types of gunsight, and different pitot tubes. The kit includes an extensive photo-etched fret for ultimate realism, a seated pilot figure, and three marking options for aircraft from the Battle of Britain and Operation Dynamo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes optional parts to recreate various types of Mk.I front canopy, sights, and pitot tubes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn extensive photo-etched fret is included for seatbelts, radiator mesh, and gunsight parts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe canopy can be assembled in the open or closed position, with dedicated parts for a perfect fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe detailed, floorless cockpit is accurately reproduced\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint Options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes three different marking options from 1940\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA seated pilot figure in a realistic pose is included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMasking stickers are provided to aid with painting the canopy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Tamiya Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/48\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 191mm (7.52\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWingspan: 235mm (9.25\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Seated Pilot Figure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Photo-Etched Fret\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Sheet Of Canopy Masking Stickers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426385244361,"sku":"10032384","price":69.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40426708795593,"sku":"10032384","price":56.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/8e91c73b97684e788db750a2ff025381.webp?v=1760057487","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-48-supermarine-spitfire-mk-i-fighter-scaled-plastic-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
