    Airfix 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.Xviii A05140


    Recreate the advanced Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVIII, a refined and powerful variant of the legendary Spitfire family, with the Airfix AX05140 1:48 scale model kit. Designed to be the ultimate “Super Spitfire,” the Mk.XVIII was an improved version of the Mk.XIV, powered by the formidable Rolls-Royce Griffon engine. This aircraft featured cockpit enhancements, increased fuel capacity, and strengthened wings, enabling it to carry rockets or bombs in addition to its formidable cannon and machine gun armament.


    Though it arrived too late to see combat during World War II, the Spitfire Mk.XVIII proved its worth in post-war conflicts, including Operation Firedog and actions against Communist guerrillas during the Malayan Emergency. With only 300 produced, the Mk.XVIII stands as a symbol of engineering excellence in British aviation history.
