The Supermarine Spitfire PR. Mk.XI combined the fuselage of the Mk.VII/VIII with Type D wings adapted for carrying large fuel capacities, allowing for long-range flights. Aircraft of this version were unarmed but fitted with specialized cameras for vertical and oblique photography. The Spitfire PR. Mk.XI took part in numerous reconnaissance missions over Europe and Asia, playing a crucial role in supplying vital intelligence data.

The Kovozavody Prostejov model stands out for its excellent detail rendition, clearly defined panel lines, and excellently fitted parts. The kit allows for the recreation of camouflage from the Southeast Asia region, typical of Allied operations against Japan in the final stages of the war. Detailed decals enable you to reproduce authentic SEAC aircraft markings.

We especially recommend this kit to aviation history enthusiasts and modellers building collections of RAF machines from World War II. It is an excellent choice for both beginners and intermediate builders, thanks to the clear assembly instructions and precise manufacturing of parts. The Spitfire PR. Mk.XI “SEAC” is not only a superb addition to any collection, but also a unique opportunity to discover a less well-known yet highly significant version of this legendary aircraft.
