Supermarine Spitfire, 50cc, Matte, Seagull Models

The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by the Chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works R. J. Mitchell, which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from 1928. It is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries before, during and after the Second World War. The Spitfire was built in many variants, using several wing configurations, and was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft. It was also the only British fighter to be in continuous production throughout the war. The Spitfire continues to be popular among enthusiasts, with approximately 54 Spitfires being airworthy, while many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world.
