Description

The XVII was the first of the Seafire variants to feature a cut-down rear fuselage and distinctive teardrop-style canopy. The aircraft could carry a heavier weapons load thanks to reinforced construction, with both fuel tanks and rockets under the wings. This plane flew on the frontline until the early 1950s when it downgraded to training duties.

The Navy’s answer to the ever-popular Spitfire, this masterpiece astounded the world with its unrivalled performance in the most demanding of conditions. It effortlessly operated from aircraft carriers, making it a formidable presence over land and sea. Folding wings allowed it to take off swiftly and land on the decks of naval vessels, extending its reach and influence over the ocean.

The awe-inspiring design ensured agility and speed, boasting sleek, aerodynamic contours radiating elegance and boosting manoeuvrability. This machine reached top speeds of approximately 378 miles per hour (608km/h), giving pilots an unyielding advantage.

Decals are included for three versions:

Supermarine Seafire F.XVII, No.767 Naval Air Squadron, Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, Somerset, England, 1950.

Supermarine Seafire F.XVII, No.807 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Vengeance, 1947.

Supermarine Seafire F.XVII, 1831 Royal Naval Air Station Stretton (HMS Blackap), Chesire, England, 1947-1951.
