The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I is one of the most famous WWII fighter aircraft, forming the backbone of the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain in 1940-1941. The wheels were often operated on unpaved airstrips, which led to rapid wear – precise replication of these parts significantly enhances the collectible and realistic value of the model.

The Eduard 648210 set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modellers (assembly difficulty: 2/5) wishing to improve the detailing of their Airfix Spitfire Mk.I model. Installation requires minor modelling work (removing the original wheels and gluing the replacements), but the final result undoubtedly makes the effort worthwhile.

We recommend this product to every WWII aviation enthusiast and collector who values accurately reproduced historical machines down to the finest detail. With Eduard's resin wheels, your model will reach a whole new level of realism!
