Airfix Supermarine Spitfire PR XIX 1/72 Scale Model Kit

Description

From Airfix. The Mk XIX was the last and most successful photographic reconnaissance variant of the Spitfire. It combined features of the Mk XI with the Griffon engine of the Mk XIV. After the first 25 (type 389s) were produced, later aircraft were also fitted with the pressurised cabin of the Mk X and the fuel capacity was increased to 256 gallons, three-and-a-half times that of the original Spitfire. The first Mk XIXs entered service in May 1944, and by the end of the Second World War the type had virtually replaced the earlier Mk XI.
