Kyosho IF317 3X27mm Shaft (BsIf 4pcs) – Metro Hobbies

Spitfire Mk.VC "RAAF Service" 148 Together with Hurricane, Spitfire Mk.I was the symbol of Battle of Britain. At the end of 1940 was obvious that Spitfire Mk.I and it slightly improved version Mk. II will not be able to compete in aerial fights with new versions of German fighters and bombers. Though, it was assumed to produce Mk.III version powered by Merlin engine equipped with two-stage supercharger (never produced at all) it was decided to order alternative small series of Spitfire Mk.V. It was Spitfire Mk.III airframe with new engine bed for Merlin 45 engine with higher output. Due to the engine installation the oil cooler was slightly modified. The first series used the already produced airframes of Spitfire Mk.III. These became the Mk.VA version equipped with eight 7.7 mm machine guns and Mk.VB version equipped with two 20mm cannons
