MODEL MANUAL #18: SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE

1-56718

Includes 140 color photos, almost all of the various models in various stages of construction and painting. Some photos in the Walk Around section of the real fighter. Scale drawings included.

Examines Reginald Mitchell's classic Spitfire - the only RAF type in continuous production throughout WWII (over 20,000 were built in some 40 major variations), and an airframe adaptable as a fighter, fighter-bomber, and Photo Recon aircraft. This book provides all the details needed to model the main Spitfires - the Mks V and IX - and other Spitfire variants. Includes a full roundup of the models available on the market (circa 2001 anyway), details of where you can see the real thing, a select bibliography, and survey of websites of interest.
