Comprising of 156 parts, the aircraft can be built as either:-.
Supermarine Spitfire Mk1a DW-K
DW-K of No.610 County of Chester Squadron, with its large code letters and oversized roundels that instantly evoke the Battle of Britain.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk1a QJ-B
QJ-B of No.92 Squadron based at Manston, Kent, December 1940 and reflects the changes to operational camouflage at the time with the underside of the port wing being painted black as a recognition aid. This fabulous model will show the cockpit, Merlin engine, gun ports and other great detail.

A19003 - Hawker Typhoon Mk.IB
HAWKER TYPHOON MK.IB
These early machines were somewhat rushed into service and it was discovered that a number of modifications would be desirable, if not totally essential.
Perhaps the most noticeable difference from the later models were around the canopy area – the First Typhoon were supplied with a forward opening ‘car door’ style cockpit entry For the pilot which even included a wind down window.
The pilot also had a transparent roof panel, which hinged open to the left and some machines had the addition of a rear-facing mirror, on the canopy frame.
Some of the other options this new version will allow are: the new ‘car door’ style canopy structure earlier ‘car door’ pilots seat alternative main undercarriage wheel pneumatic tail wheel alternate cannon fairings for the guns different internal frame structure 500Ib ‘long tail’ bombs.
