Tamiya 60321 - 1/32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVIe 田宮軍事模型戰機 雙星孖星  [60321]

The Supermarine Spitfire was designed by R.J. Mitchell and its particular distinctive silhouette helps it be perhaps one of the most widely-recognized fighters of WWII. Famous for its exploits through the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire continued to evolve to counter more recent Axis aircraft. Because of this development, numerous variants of this Spitfire were born and served with difference inside RAF as well as the air forces of numerous other nations until well following the end of WWII.

The Spitfre Mk.XVI happened to be nearly the same as the Mk.IX in most aspects except that most had been running on a Packard-built Merlin 266 engine which had taller dimensions compared to the Rolls Royce 66 motor and featured a bubble canopy with a "low straight back" fuselage. Other new structural modifications saw the Mk.XVwe built with a bigger 96 gallon primary fuel tank, along with two additional gas tanks installed at the rear of the fuselage and a larger oil sump to allow it to flylonger distances. Mk.XVIes were used mainly in ground-attack functions and was included with the "E" armament setup of two 20mm cannons and two 12.7mm Browning device weapons. Also, as concrete tarmacs became more prevalent while the war progressed, changes towards the camber angle associated with Spitfire&39;s landing gears had been made to lead to better landings and take-offs. Because of the modifications built to this new weapon and cannon placement, ammo ejection ports, and the landing gear design, the wings featured brand new bulges compared to the Mk.IX. The Mk.XVIe, offered with distinction throughout Europe for the second 50 % of the war.
