Produced from 1941, the \"C\" version was distinguished by reinforced \"universal\" wings, enabling various armament configurations, such as Browning machine guns or Hispano cannons. Spitfire Mk.VCs operated by the RAAF played a key role in the defense of Australia and in Pacific battles against Japanese aircraft between 1942 and 1945 (World War II period). The aircraft gained distinction in battles such as those over Darwin and New Guinea, proving highly effective as an interceptor.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel features and set contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1:48 – model approximately 19 cm long, wingspan about 23 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of operation: Australia (RAAF) – historical markings and decals for RAAF machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of operation: World War II, years 1942–1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high quality polystyrene for assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe set includes authentically recreated details, clear canopy elements, a richly detailed cockpit, and decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDoes not include glue or paints – model building accessories must be purchased separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation for modelers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Special Hobby 48100 Spitfire Mk.VC RAAF Service (1\/48) is a model recommended for both intermediate and more experienced modelers or enthusiasts of World War II aviation.
