The Mk XII version was the first to be equipped with a Griffon engine, providing excellent performance while intercepting low-flying targets, particularly German V-1 bombers. Used from 1943 on the Western Front, it demonstrated remarkable agility and firepower. Its missions were carried out over occupied Western Europe until the end of World War II.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eAdvantages of the Montex MM48338 set:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    Montex masks allow you to safely protect transparent cockpit elements from accidental overpainting while enabling you to achieve highly realistic, historical markings without the need to use conventional decals. This solution minimizes the risk of errors and distortion, making it easy to reproduce both simple and complex patterns. The film is resistant to most popular modeling paints.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    We recommend the Montex MM48338 set to both beginner and advanced modellers who want to improve their Airfix Spitfire MkXII model.
