The Italeri 1/72 Spitfire Mk.VB model kit lets modellers recreate a well known WWII fighter with clear, accurate mouldings. It is a manageable project that rewards careful painting and light weathering.

Development and Combat Usage

Modelled as the Mk. V variant, introduced in 1941, this Spitfire served in many theatres and often featured field adaptations such as anti-sand measures in desert campaigns. These historical details give builders options for authentic finishes.

Size, Finish and Display

At approximately 13 cm long in 1/72 scale, the completed model is compact yet visually convincing. Its proportions and panel detail suit tabletop displays and museum-style arrangements.
