Brace yourself for a stealthily guarded FAA revelation!
A masterpiece of the skies, and now your Airfix workbench, the Supermarine Seafire returns
to our range after a ten-year absence.
The XVII was the first of the Seafire variants to feature a cut-down rear fuselage and distinctive
teardrop-style canopy. The aircraft could carry a heavier weapons load thanks to reinforced
construction, with both fuel tanks and rockets under the wings. This plane flew on the
frontline until the early 1950s when it downgraded to training duties.
The Navy’s answer to the ever-popular Spitfire, this masterpiece astounded the world with
its unrivalled performance in the most demanding of conditions. It effortlessly operated
from aircraft carriers, making it a formidable presence over land and sea. Folding wings
allowed it to take off swiftly and land on the decks of naval vessels, extending its reach
and influence over the ocean.
The awe-inspiring design ensured agility and speed, boasting sleek, aerodynamic contours
radiating elegance and boosting manoeuvrability. This machine reached top speeds of
approximately 378 miles per hour (608km/h), giving pilots an unyielding advantage.
