Italeri 1/72 Spitfire MK Vi Model Kit

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VI was a specialized high-altitude interceptor variant, designed to counter high-flying Luftwaffe reconnaissance aircraft and the anticipated threat of pressurized bombers. The Mk.VI featured a pressurized cockpit, extended wingtips for improved high-altitude performance, and a Merlin 47 engine optimized for altitude. Only 100 were built, making it one of the rarer Spitfire marks. This 1/72 scale Italeri kit captures the distinctive extended wingtips that differentiate the Mk.VI from more common variants.
