Airfix ‘Then and Now’ Spitfire Mk.Vc & F-35B Lightning II Gift Set

Airfix ‘Then and Now’ Spitfire Mk.Vc & F-35B Lightning II Gift Set in 1/72 scale is an impressive model kit collection bringing together two generations of British military aviation in one package. The set includes the legendary Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc from World War II alongside the modern F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter, creating a unique comparison between historic and modern aviation technology.

The contrast between the Spitfire’s elegant propeller-driven design and the advanced stealth lines of the F-35B makes this gift set an excellent choice for aviation enthusiasts and collectors of both classic and modern military aircraft.

The kit includes detailed cockpits, landing gear, authentic decals, and accurate historical and modern aircraft details for both models. The Gift Set edition also includes brushes, glue, and acrylic paints, allowing builders to begin immediately straight from the box.

The completed Spitfire Mk.Vc model measures approximately 12 cm in length with a wingspan of around 15 cm, while the F-35B Lightning II measures approximately 21 cm in length with a wingspan of around 15 cm, providing an impressive visual comparison in 1/72 scale.

The models are supplied unpainted and unassembled, allowing builders to recreate authentic RAF markings from different eras or create personalized versions. Included Humbrol paints are tailored for both aircraft schemes and include Hu11 Silver, Hu30 Dark Green, Hu33 Matt Black, Hu64 Light Grey, Hu106 Ocean Grey, and Hu125 US Dark Grey.

Brushes, glue, and paints are included in the Gift Set edition.
