The Supermarine Spitfire, the Haynes Manual and Corgi: three great British icons that have kept enthusiasts and collectors happy for decades. Haynes brings you the concise story of this superlative RAF Second World War fighter, and salutes its place in Corgi’s modelling history. This set contains an authentic 1:72 scale die-cast model of the Supermarine Spitfire in the colours No. 610 (County of Chester) Squadron of the Royal Air Force and a 36 page miniature history; from its creation by Chief Designer R. J. Mitchell in 1936, to becoming the symbol of defiance during the Battle of Britain, and the air show-stopping sight that it is today. Purposely written, the book contains superb pictures and essential facts that pay homage to this elliptical winged masterpiece.
