About Airfix Supermarine Spitfire F MK 22 1:72 British
Description Arguably one of the most recognizable aircrafts of WWII, the Spitfire was one of England's most successful defenders throughout the war. Rolling off the assembly line in 1938, the Spitfire began its career and would see several variants to improve it to be one of the most capable war machines. The Mk XII was the first Rolls Royce Griffon-engined variant which flew on August 1942, and first flew operationally with 41 Squadron in April 1943. By the Spitfire F MK 22, the aircraft had doubled in weight and sported twice the power and an enlarged tail, screaming to 400 mph (640 km/h), over 100 mph faster, in level flight and in nine minutes could climb to an altitude of 33,000 feet an increased climb rate of 80%. Although the Spitfire continued to improve in speed and armament, the final variants of the Spitfire to enter service, the Rolls-Royce Griffon powered Mk.22/24 were very different from the prototype aircraft that took to the sky in 1936 in look and power.
