EDK82152 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I early Profipack

It was also capable of development and this development kept it in line with the best fighters from other nations. The Spitfire rose to fame during the Battle of Britain. Despite the Hurricane being more numerous and shooting down more enemy planes, it was the Spitfire that captured the world’s imagination, something which it still does today. The Spitfire Mk II was similar to the Mk Ia but had a new Merlin engine of 1180hp, which gave a slightly increased performance. The Mk IIa entered service towards the end of the Battle of Britain and was the main version in service in late 1940 to early 1941.
