A brief history of the Spitfire Mk.XVIe:

The Spitfire Mk.XVIe was one of the last improved versions of the famous Supermarine Spitfire aircraft. This variant, produced at the end of World War II, used the Packard Merlin 266 engine and was equipped with modified "E"-type wings, allowing for easy installation of both machine guns and cannons. The Spitfire Mk.XVIe was intensively used by the RAF, especially in 1944-1945 during the Western Europe offensive, and later also during exercises and parades in the post-war period.

Advantages and recommendations:

This product is recommended for modelers of all skill levels. We assess the difficulty level of applying the masks as 1/5. Using the dedicated Eduard JX129 masks makes it much easier to paint transparent elements with complex shapes, helping to avoid paint bleed and unwanted discoloration. This solution is particularly appreciated by realism enthusiasts who want to highlight impressive cockpit details in historic RAF aircraft models.
