1/48 Trumpeter Supermarine Spiteful F.MK.14 Fighter 02850

Product introduction:
The Supermarine Spiteful was a British Rolls-Royce Griffon-engined fighter aircraft.
In late 1942. Supermarine designers feared the drag characteristics of the Spitfire’s wing at high Mach numbers (nearing the speed of sound) might become a limiting factor in increasing the aircraft’s high-speed performance. To overcome this. it was decided to produce a new laminar-flow wing. much like that already used on the North American P-51 Mustang. Another change. to improve the ground-handling. was replacing the Spitfire’s narrow-track. outward-retracting undercarriage with a wider-track. inward-retracting system. as it was now substantially different from a Spitfire. the aircraft was named Spiteful
