Supermarine Spitfire - Osprey Modelling Manual

Osprey Modelling Manual 18 examines Reginald Mitchell?s classic Spitfire ? the only RAF type in continuous production throughout WWII (over 20,000 were built in some 40 major variations), and an airframe adaptable as a fighter, fighter-bomber and PR aircraft. This book provides all the details needed to model the main Spitfire Marks ? the Mks V and IX ? and other Spitfire variants. Includes a full roundup of the models available on the market, details of where you can see the real thing, a select bibliography, and survey of websites of interest.
