This product is primarily dedicated to Eduard models in the same scale, but it also works perfectly with other Spitfire Mk.XVI kits from alternative manufacturers.

Historical Description

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI was an evolution of the popular Spitfire variants, used by the Royal Air Force mainly during the second half of World War II. The Mk.XVI version was distinguished by its Packard Merlin engine – the American-built version of the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin – and its wide “bubble canopy” cockpit. The aircraft was intensively used between 1944 and 1945 for bomber escort, ground unit support, and aerial combat against enemy forces over Western Europe.
