Supermarine Spitfire PR.Mk.19: Fujimi

Spitfire PR.Mk.19: 1:72 Scale

The PR Mk XIX was the last of the specialised photo reconnaissance variants of the Spitfire, the only one with a Griffon engine and arguably the finest of them all. Delivered to the RAF from mid-1944 to shortly after the end of WWII, it provided the RAF with a formidable photo-reconnaissance platform. By the end of the war, this mark had virtually replaced the earlier PR Mk XI for long-range duties, but more notably it lasted in front-line service up to the early 1950s, still excelling at high altitude despite the fact that its projected opposition now included jet fighters.

Decal Options:

• PM655 of the Photographic Development Unit in Benson, England, 1947-8
• RM643/Z, of No.541 Squadron Benson late 1944.
