The Spitfire is surely the most evocative aircraft ever and this tin model allows any bloke to honour "The Few" with the Battle of Britain's most powerful symbol. As a fighter aircraft the Supermarine Spitfire was a deadly weapon, as well as being a fast and reliable reconnaisance platform and potent ground attack machine, well in to the jet age.
This model is a part of the well known Leonardo range of display goods, is around 16 " long with a 17" wingspan, is roughly finished and made of light tin alloy so will not stand up to the rigours of children's play. It is a desk or study ornament rather than a toy.
