Scramble, scramble, Jerry's having a party, and we're going to it. Quite possibly the most iconic plane of the 20th Century, the Spitfire Mk IIB is more English than Churchill and a nice cup of tea, and more nostalgic than a pair of slippers (or something). This awesomely gorgeous and massive beauty is the most accurate ready to fly electric RC Spitfire on the market today. It has a host of super-scale detail with it's landmark elliptical wing, dark earth and green camouflage, that instantly memorable blue underside, a beautifully moulded canopy, painted pilot figure, three stack Merlin exhausts and a fully detailed fuselage with moulded panel lines.

Everything needed to get this Spitfire in the air and ready for combat is included in the box, making this model a true "one box" purchase, the model, flight battery, charger, transmitter with two switchable modes, one giving a softer more sedate flying mode and the second giving the Spitfire a fully aerobatic scale performance. Access to the flight battery is via an easy to use battery hatch with a magnetic lock, so there is no need to take off the wing between flights, making the Spitfire ready to "scramble" into low strafing runs and glorious victory rolls at a moments notice.

The most exciting feature of this model is the new ZX10 radio system with 10-bit 1024 step processing. It uses industry standard three wire servos with a six-channel receiver fitted in the model and a transmitter with servo reversing switches. That was a bit technical, but those in the know should be suitably impressed.

The Spitfire Mk II, it's so beautiful it deserves a plinth.
