ICM 48071 Plastic model kit aircraft Scale 1:48 Spitfire Mk.XVI WWII fighter

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI is a 1/48 scale plastic model kit by ICM representing a late-war version of the British single-seat fighter that served with Royal Air Force units during the final stages of World War II.

The Spitfire Mk.XVI was closely related to the Mk.IX variant and was powered by a Packard-built Merlin engine produced under license in the United States. These aircraft were widely used by Allied fighter units operating in Europe during the closing phase of the war, performing fighter and ground support missions.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI - Late World War II Fighter

The Mk.XVI combined the well-known aerodynamic design of the Spitfire with improved production standardization. Aircraft of this type were frequently seen operating from European airfields in 1944 and 1945 as Allied air forces supported ground operations across the continent.

For modelers: The cockpit, fuselage, and wing assemblies can be prepared and painted as separate subassemblies before final construction to preserve internal detail and achieve a clean finish around the canopy and wing roots.
