Description
Plastic model kit of the Supermarine Spitfire PR Type C “Heston Special” reconnaissance aircraft in 1:72 scale
The Supermarine Spitfire PR Type C, known as the “Heston Special”, was one of the earliest photo-reconnaissance variants of the iconic RAF fighter. Converted from early Spitfire airframes, these aircraft were stripped of armament and adapted for long-range photographic missions. During 1940–1941 they played a crucial role in gathering intelligence over occupied Europe. This 1:72 scale kit from IBG allows modelers to accurately recreate this distinctive variant.
In the box you will find:
- plastic parts for self-assembly,
- fuselage and wings specific to the PR Type C version,
- external details typical of early reconnaissance Spitfires,
- decals for aircraft markings from the 1940–1941 period.
