Information about the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.II

What was the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.II used for?

The history of the Supermarine Spitfire began even before the outbreak of World War II. Designed by Reginald Joseph Mitchell, the fighter quickly became the mainstay of British fighter aviation and a symbol of the Allied victory during the Battle of Britain.

The Spitfire combined:

• excellent maneuverability

• high speed

• modern design

• effectiveness in aerial combat

The Mk.II version was an evolution of the initial production Spitfires and played a significant role in Royal Air Force operations early in the war.

Polish pilots flying in RAF squadrons also flew Spitfires; among them was Ludwik Martel, whose likeness is commemorated in this COBI set.

Distinctive elliptical wings

One of the Spitfire's most recognizable features is its elliptical wings.

Their unique shape ensured excellent aerodynamic properties and superior maneuverability during dogfights.

The COBI model faithfully reproduces the aircraft's distinctive silhouette, making it look incredibly realistic both during assembly and upon completion.
