This eye-catching British Spitfire model is my second WWII plane after the P-38 Lightning. Its pink color made it stand out from the rest of the drab-looking pack in the store, so I bought it (of course, it was priced cheap, too!).
The Spitfire is one of the most popular planes from the war era, and the MkV was its most common variant, with over six thousand produced. Many people also say it’s the most aesthetically appealing plane of the war…and I have to agree.
The model sports uber-realistic “smudges” and “exhaust marks” (heck I don’t know the right terms, obviously) that you would expect from a plane in the thick of the war. All in all, I’m greatly pleased with this model — worth every cent of the 298 pesos!
