Plastic model airplane kit: Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I Early - Beginning of the Saga 1:72 IBG 72580

This plastic model kit of the British fighter Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I in its early production version is titled "Beginning of the Saga" and allows you to build a miniature of one of the most iconic aircraft of World War II, which played a key role during the Battle of Britain.

The Supermarine Spitfire is a completely metal low-wing aircraft with characteristic elliptical wings, designed by R.J. Mitchell. The first production machines were delivered to RAF units in 1938. The Mk.I version was powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin II engine with a power of 1030 HP. This aircraft became a symbol of British resistance and victory, remaining in various developmental versions in production for over a decade.
