Airfix Spitfire Mk.Vc & F-35B Lightning II 'Then and Now' 1:72 Plastic Kit Gift Set with Paints

This is an Airfix 'Then and Now' gift set containing two 1:72 scale plastic model aircraft kits, the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc and the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II.

About this model

The set pairs a wartime RAF fighter with a modern fifth-generation combat aircraft, letting you build both at the same 1:72 scale for direct comparison. Each kit is moulded in plastic with decals and a dedicated paint guide, so markings for both aircraft are covered.

Everything needed to complete both builds is included, from paints and brushes to adhesive, making this suited to a modeller working through two kits in one sitting rather than sourcing materials separately.
