Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XVI Bubbletop was one of the variants of the legendary British Spitfire fighter plane used during World War II. Mk. XVI was a modification introduced in 1944, which was characterized by a spherical-shaped cabin (Bubbletop). It significantly improved the pilot's visibility. The plane achieved a high maximum speed of approximately 676 km/h. The armament included two 20mm machine guns and four 7.7mm machine guns. Spitfire Mk. XVI was used mainly as an escort and reconnaissance fighter, taking part in operations on various war fronts. Its improvements, especially in performance and visibility, made it an effective means of air combat late in WWII. • 152 high-quality elements • Produced in the EU by a company with over 20 years of tradition • The blocks meet the safety standards of products for children • Fully compatible with other brands of construction blocks • Blocks with prints do not scratch or smear and do not fade during play or under the influence of temperature • Clear and intuitive instructions based on illustrations and step-by-step directions • 1:48 scale plane Model dimensions (L x W x H): 20 cm (7.9") x 21 cm (8.3") x 9 cm (3.5") Directions Instructions included Safety Warning Danger of suffocation due to small parts that can be swallowed Review: Built in 2 hours, super fun and looks great - Super fun to build and looks amazing Review: Schönes Flugzeug - COBI halt.
