Historical Description:

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XII is one of the most innovative versions of the iconic British fighter aircraft. The Mk. XII was the first Spitfire variant equipped with a Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, greatly improving its performance. These aircraft served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II, with their main task being to intercept German reconnaissance aircraft, especially the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 over southern England in the years 1942–1944.

Intended use and recommended modeling group:

Eduard FE1302 is an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced modelers looking for an impressive way to elevate the realism of the Spitfire Mk. XII model. The precise, colored parts are visually striking and significantly enhance the cockpit’s interior. Thanks to the ready-to-use seatbelts and instrument panels, the final effect is incomparable to factory plastic parts.

Assembly difficulty: 3/5

The set requires basic skills in working with photo-etched parts and experience in assembling 1/48 scale models. We recommend this product for those wishing to develop their skills and strive for faithful reproduction of historical aviation details.
