Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire MkVIII (1:32 Scale)

Celebrating one of Britain’s most recognisable WWII fighters, this Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire Mk. VIII plastic assembly kit recreates the later Spitfire variant developed as a successor to the Mk. V. Built in 1/32 scale, it captures key Mk. VIII updates such as the retractable tail wheel, shortened ailerons and wing fuel tanks, alongside the option to depict standard or extended wingtips.

Designed as a detailed build for adult constructors, the model offers flexible configuration during and after assembly, including a choice of retracted or deployed landing gear and tail wheel. Control surfaces are represented with moveable ailerons, rudder and elevators, while the flaps can be set in either the up or down position. Marking options are included to finish the aircraft in USAAF, RAAF or RCAF service, plus two pilot figures for added display possibilities.
