Supermarine Spitfire
is a British single-seat, propeller driven fighter plane designed in the 1930s. It was used mostly during WWII, but some versions remained in use after that as well. It was one of the fastest and most maneuverable fighters of the war. Spitfire was intended to be a short-range interceptor and was developed by R.J. Mitchell, chief designer in Supermarine Aviation Works. The plane was a main figure in Battle of Britain, however it fought on a much wider front than that. During the years, Spitfire was upgraded constantly and remained a top-fighter in its class until the end of WWII. Numerous Spitfires remain airworthy to this day and are flown privately.
Spitfire Camouflage
is a paint scheme with variations of colors, sometimes ranging from warm earth tones to light gray nuances. There were two patterns of the camo – A and B. One was the mirror image of the other. Early during the Second World war, only one of those two was kept. The mask set represents Type A. Colors were changed due to lack of paints during the period. Despite that, the planes kept their camouflage outlines, even though they looked very different one from another color-wise. On its belly, Spitfire was painted in light gray and sometimes in black /or black & white/ colors. On upper surfaces however, planes featured the camo scheme presented in this DN Models’ mask set. The set is designed using Eduard Spitfire tooling, but it is suitable for most quarter scale Spitfire kits on the market, ranging from early, through mid- ’till the late variants.
