Airfix A02017B Spitfire PR.XIX – 1:72 Scale Model

Airfix is a British model making company that have been producing injection-moulded plastic scale model kits since 1939. Airfix model kits are so popular in the UK that the brand has become synonymous with plastic model kits. Their range includes cars, naval vessels, aircraft and trains, and they are particularly well known for their range of military models, particularly WW2-era models.

The reconnaissance Spitfire PR.XIX was unarmed but could fly at 370mph at 40,000 feet and had a range of 1500 miles. Mk.XIX Spitfires represent the ‘top end’ of development of the Spitfire

This lovely little Spitfire model kit is a great starter kit for beginners and kids coming with 44 pieces. The model does need to be glued and painted (which need to be purchased seperately) but does come with decals. A great gift for budding model makers!
