This is a Plastic 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire VB Airplane from Tamiya. tam 61033
The Supermarine Spitfire Vb was introduced into service in 1941 and represented the first of many major upgrades to maintain the fighter’s ascendency over its adversaries, which, in this time frame, was primarily the Messerschmitt Bf109. Tamiya’s rendition of the Spitfire Vb builds up into an impressive, highly detailed 1/48th scale replica with lots of interior and exterior detail. High quality water activated decals are included for three aircraft.
