Airfix Spitfire PR.XIX 1:72 Plastic Model Aircraft Kit

This is the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire PR.XIX in 1:72 scale, a plastic construction kit of the photo-reconnaissance variant of the Spitfire.

About this model

The PR.XIX was built for speed and altitude rather than combat, reaching 370mph at 40,000 feet with a range of around 1,500 miles. It represents the final stage of single-engine Spitfire development, and this kit gives modellers a route into one of the less commonly built variants.

The kit contains 44 precision-moulded plastic parts, along with an instruction sheet, paint guide and decal sheet covering two authentic paint schemes. It is rated skill level 1, so it suits those wanting a simple and enjoyable build without a long parts list. Plastic cement and paint are needed to complete the model but are not included.
