Supermarine Spitfi re Mk. II a Supermarine Spitfi re Mk. II a
Die Spitfi re war 1937 von R. J. Mitchell, der bei der Supermarine Aircraft
Company tätig war, als Jagdfl ugzeug entworfen worden. Das Flugzeug
sollte die Spezifi kation F.37/34 des Luftfahrtministeriums erfüllen. Der
erste Prototyp fl og am 5. März 1936 und beeindruckte sofort alle
Beobachter. Eine erste Bestellung über 310 Spitfi res wurde im Juni des
Jahres erteilt. Nach einigen Produktionsverzögerungen kam das erste
Flugzeug bei der No.19 Squadron der Royal Air Force in Duxford im
Juni 1938 an. Diese Mk.I besaß anfänglich einen Zweiblatt-Festpropeller,
der später jedoch durch einen dreiblättrigen Verstellpropeller ersetzt
wurde. Bei Ausbruch des 2. Weltkriegs wurden neun RAF Squadrons
komplett mit Spitfi res ausgerüstet. Die erste Feindmaschine wurde
am 16. Oktober 1939 abgeschossen. Zum Beginn der Schlacht um
England im Juli 1940 waren insgesamt 19 RAF Squadrons mit Spitfi res
ausgestattet. Mit der Zunahme der Spitfi re-Bestellungen wurde die
Produktion auf weitere Werke im Süden Englands erweitert und ein
eigenes großes Werk in Castle Bromwich, nahe Birmingham, errichtet.
Alle 920 Spitfi re Mk.II wurden in Castle Bromwich gebaut, ebenso viele
der späteren Marks, die mehr als die Hälfte der insgesamt 20.351 Spitfi res
ausmachten. Die ersten Spitfi re Mk.II wurden im August 1940 an die RAF
Squadrons ausgeliefert. Sie nahmen im folgenden Dezember an den
Gegenoffensiven in Europa teil (Codename “Rhabarber”). Die Spitfi re
Mk.II unterschied sich von der Mk.I durch den stärkeren Merlin-Motor,
die leicht gewölbte Cockpithaube und ein zusätzliches “kugelsicheres”
Glas vorn in der Windschutzscheibe. Spätere Spitfi re-Varianten fanden
sich auf allen Schauplätzen des 2. Weltkriegs, zahlreiche überzählige
Exemplare wurden an Luftstreitkräfte in der ganzen Welt verkauft.
Die Spitfi re Mk.IIa war als Jagdfl ugzeug mit acht Browning M1919-
Maschinengewehren bewaffnet. Der 1.150 PS starke Rolls-Royce Merlin
XII Motor verlieh der Spitfi re Mk.IIa eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von
574 km/h in 5.181 m Höhe. Die maximale Flughöhe betrug 11.338 m.
Spannweite: 11,22 m. Länge: 9,12 m
The Spitfi re was planned as a private venture fi ghter by R J Mitchell
of the Supermarine Aircraft Company in 1937. The aircraft proposed
to meet Air Ministry Specifi cation F.37/34 fi rst ew in prototype form
on 5
th
March 1936 and immediately impressed all who saw it. A fi rst
contract for 310 Spitfi res was issued in June that year and after some
production delays the fi rst aircraft reached No.19 Squadron, Royal Air
Force, at Duxford in June 1938. These Mk.I aircraft initially had two-
blade fi xed pitch airscrews but these were later replaced by three-
blade variable pitch units. At the start of World War Two, Spitfi res fully
equipped nine RAF Squadrons with the fi rst enemy aircraft being shot-
down on 16
th
October 1939. By the beginning of the Battle of Britain
in July 1940 Spitfi res equipped a total of 19 RAF Squadrons. As more
Spitfi re contracts were awarded, production was dispersed to other
factories in the south of England and the huge purpose built facility at
Castle Bromwich near Birmingham. All 920 Spitfi re Mk.IIs were built at
Castle Bromwich as well as large numbers of later Marks, accounting for
well over half the total of 20,351 Spitfi res. The fi rst Spitfi re Mk.IIs reached
RAF Squadrons in August 1940 and took part in offensive sweeps
into Europe (code named “Rhubarbs”) in the following December.
The Spitfi re Mk.II differed from the Mk.I in having a more powerful
Merlin engine, a slightly ballooned canopy and an extra layer of “bullet-
proof” glass in front of the windscreen. Later Spitfi re variants served in
all World War Two combat theatres and many surplus examples were
sold to air forces around the world. Designed for the fi ghter role, the
Spirfi re Mk.IIa was armed with eight 0.303mm Browning machine guns.
The 1,150hp Rolls-Royce Merlin XII engine gave the Spitfi re Mk.IIa a
maximum speed of 574km/h (357mph) at 5,181m (17,000ft). Maximum
altitude was 11,338m (37,200ft.). Wingspan: 11.22m (36ft 10in.) Length:
9.12m (29ft 11in.)

Should I paint my Revell model before or after it is built? Verified
