Description

Hobby Master HA7101 depicts a late-war Spitfire Mk XIV assigned to RAF No.127 Wing and flown by Johnnie Johnson, set at Soltau, Germany in May 1945. The standout detail with this subject is its personal identity, with Johnson known for carrying his own initials in place of the usual unit code when leading the Canadian Spitfire Wing.

A strong choice for an end-of-war RAF display, ideal if you like famous ace subjects and aircraft with an instantly recognisable personal marking in 1:48.
