Spitfire 40

The English hero of WWII elegantly covered in film with detailed camouflage colouring! See the stunning form of the Spitfire fly again.

The elegant form of the elliptic wings disguise the Spitfire's sting and unforgettable bravery in the heat of WWII. Indeed, the people of England pass down the legend of the Spitfire as the saviour of the motherland. However, despite its popularity, the R/C model market has not embraced the Spitfire. Due to its shape, the Spitfire is quite difficult to manufacture and as a consequence its relative cost was high. But Kyosho has solved the problem! Using lightweight balsa as the main structure, the factory-assembled Spitfire is expertly covered in quality film. This special film not only produces a fantastic finish, its also gives the Spitfire's characteristic camouflage colouring resistance to glow-fuel and wrinkling from variations in temperature and humidity. From your first look and feel of the Spitfire, you can't help but be impressed by the exceptional workmanship and quality, and achieved at such a reasonable price! The lightweight finish also contributes to the Spitfire's excellent control and agility that will please beginner low-wing fliers and satisfy experts as well. A scale warbird that flies like a sports plane offers you a flight experience like no other!
