Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc & F-35B Lightning II 1:72 Airfix A50190

Plastic model aircraft kit for assembly: Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc & F-35B Lightning II 1:72 Airfix A50190

A unique "Then and Now" gift set from Airfix, which combines two pillars of British military aviation. The kit allows for the construction of two 1:72 scale models, illustrating the evolution of RAF fighters over more than eighty years – from the legendary hero of the Battle of Britain to the most modern fifth-generation stealth aircraft.

The Spitfire is undoubtedly the most famous British fighter of the Second World War. An all-metal machine with characteristic elliptical wings, it became a symbol of victory and the defense of the British skies. The Mk.Vc version was a significant variant that allowed the RAF to go on the offensive, serving on all fronts of the war – from North Africa to the Far East.

The F-35B is the modern face of the Royal Air Force's power. As a fifth-generation multirole fighter, the Lightning II represents a huge technological leap. The B version is characterized by its short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) capability, making it a key element of operations conducted from aircraft carriers. Thanks to advanced avionics and stealth properties, it is one of the most modern combat machines in the world.
