Hobby Master 1:48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX PK-E 1943 HA8304
Condition

The RAF No. 315 Squadron "Deblinski" was a Polish fighter unit formed in January 1941. Francis Gabreski, the son of a Polish immigrant family, was anxious to fly so he enlisted and in 1942 was assigned to the RAF No. 315 Polish Squadron flying a Spitfire. Gabreski flew many missions in his Spitfire but didn’t score any victories. In February 1943 he was reassigned to the USAAF 8th Air Force and six months later, flying a P-47 he scored his first victory, an FW-190. By the end of WWII Gabby had 28.5 victories.
