Product Description

PM Models 1/72 Scale Supermarine Spitfire Floatplane Model Kit The idea to fit a Supermarine Spitfire with floats was tried a number of times during the Second World War. Three different Spitfire variants were converted to floatplanes, but none would enter service. The concept of a Spitfire floatplane was formulated after Norway was invaded by Germany in April 1940. The idea was that the aircraft would operate from fjords in Norway. Spitfire Mk I (R6772) was the aircraft chosen but with the surrender of Norway and trials of the new aircraft proving disappointing, the concept was not taken any further and (R6772) was restored to its original landplane configuration. With the British Government's declaration of war against Japan on the 8th December 1941 early 1942 saw the idea of a Spitfire floatplane reconsidered. This time Folland Aircraft were tasked with the job and would convert Spitfire Mk VB (W3760). The prototype made its first flight on the 12th October 1942 with Jeffrey Quill at the controls. After further trials the decision was taken to convert a further two Spitfire Mk VBs (EP751) and (EP754). All three aircrafts were shipped to Egypt but were subsequently captured by the Germans.    MODEL KIT FEATURES: New box and decals   Paints and glue are required to complete this model kit.
