Hobbyboss 1:72 - Spitfire Mk VB

The Mk V was a MK I/II airframe with longerons strengthened to take a Merlin 45 powerplant combat-rated at 1470hp. By June 1941, production of the Mk Va with machine gun armament was terminated in favour of the Vb, which had a mixed armament of 20mm cannon and 0.303in. MGs. As the most numerous of all Spitfire variants, the Mk V was eventually to equip more than 100 RAF squadrons. Model Dimensions: Length: 126.3mm Height: 46.4mm Wingspan: 155.7mm
