Airfix 02033A Supermarine Spitfire F22

Series 2 aircraft

Considered by many to be the ultimate Spitfire, the F Mk.22 shared only a very passing resemblance to its early Spitfire ancestors.  Equipped with a more powerful Griffon engine as well as a larger tail unit and cut-down rear fuselage, it was the most powerful Spitfire to see service.

Serving in only small numbers and too late for WWII, it was the penultimate land based variant of the classic Spitfire design.
