Conceived as a short-range, high-speed interceptor, it drew inspiration from inter-war seaplanes that vied for the Schneider Trophy. Marking a significant leap in aviation technology over the biplane fighters prevalent in the mid-1930s, the Spitfire served throughout World War II, continually evolving to remain at the cutting edge of fighter design. Initially introduced as a temporary model, the Mk.V became the most produced variant, equipped with the more powerful Merlin 45 engine and an advanced universal wing, allowing for easy adaptation of different armaments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo enhance the joy Airfix offers to many, these easier-to-build-and-paint Starter Sets are ideal for any novice.","brand":"HOLDSON","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":58593075691823,"sku":"PR1149887","price":52.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/9159\/9663\/files\/284116_TTWFC9VS3J06.jpg?v=1790841244","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxstore.com.au\/products\/airfix-starter-set-supermarine-spitfire-mkvc-1-72","provider":"SmartfoxAU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
