King & Country's RAF016 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1
A superbly detailed model of R.J. Mitchell's magnificent fighter
aircraft. Although twice as many Hawker Hurricanes actually fought in
the Battle it was the nimble and graceful Spitfire that captured the
British public’s attention… and heart. Our K&C Spit" is in the
personal markings of Flight Lieutenant Alan "AL" Deere, a young New
Zealander, flying with 54 Squadron during the Battle. Al Deere, who went
on to complete a long and distinguished career in the Royal Air force,
shot down 12 enemy aircraft between May and September 1940. His Spitfire
Mk.1, complete with smoke stains from the gun ports and engine exhausts
makes a worthy companion to our earlier released Hawker Hurricanes. "
Planned Production of just 750 models. (No Certificate)
