The Supermarine Spitfire was one of the best known fighter aircrafts in World War II. Attributed with the successful defense against the attacking German airplanes during the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire and the Pilots who flew them tipped the scale of airpower in Europe. The Spitfire was infinitely more maneuverable than the Messerschmitt's that they engaged. The steely British pilots made the difference.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX

Designed by R.J.Michell to meet a British Air Ministry specification, the Supermarine Spitfire first flown on March 5th, 1936. With its combination of beautiful fighter design, the excellent performance of its Rolls-Royce Merlin powerplant and firepower provided by twin cannons and four machine guns, the Spitfire became an unrivaled symbol of victory. The Spitfire had 40 major variants and was built in greater numbers than any other British aircraft of the time. It flew operationally on every front between 1939 and 1945 and was engaged in every one of the Royal Air Force's major actions.

Forces of Valor's 1:72 scale Spitfire is constructed almost entirely from diecast metal, with exceptionally crisp panel lines and rivet details across the surface of the model. The side engine cowlings are removable, revealing a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine with fine details such as correctly-rendered exhaust stacks, riveted framing and hand-painted wires. The hand-painted pilot figure is clearly visible through the Malcolm-hood shaped canopy, and simulated fabric-stretched control surfaces can be seen at the rear of the model. The 20mm cannon barrels and antenna are flexible, making them resistant to breakage.
