The Tamiya 1/32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII (60320) reproduces the definitive development of the Spitfire for overseas theatres — the Mk.VIII that served in the Mediterranean, India, and the Far East. The Mk.VIII incorporated a strengthened fuselage, retractable tailwheel, and revised Merlin 61 series engine that gave significantly improved high-altitude performance. It equipped many RAF and Commonwealth squadrons fighting the Luftwaffe over Italy and the Japanese over Burma and the Pacific islands.
