Supermarine Spitfire
is a British single-pilot, piston engine fighter designed in the 1930s. It was used mostly during the Second World War in Europe. It was one of the fastest and most maneuverable fighters of the war. Initially, it was planned as a short-range interceptor by its creator – R.J. Mitchell. Mitchell was chief designer in Supermarine Aviation Works. Spitfire gained its glory during the Battle of Britain, but since it was very successful ever since, different variants remained in service long after World War II. Thanks to its elliptical wing and powerful engine, Spitfire was accepted widely as one of the very best piston engine planes ever created.
Spitfire Camouflage
is a paint scheme with variations of colors, ranging from dark earth tones to light gray nuances. There were two patterns of the camo – A and B. They were identical, and the difference is that one was the mirror image of the other. This mask set represents camouflage Type B. Type A is also available from DN Models in different scales. Colors used were initially standard, but further down the road during the war things changed. Lack of various supplies dictated the use of whatever paints were available at the time. This set is designed using Eduard Spitfire tooling, but it is suitable for most 72nd scale Spitfire kits on the market, ranging from early, through mid- ’till the last variants of the Supermarine fighter.
