About the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XII:

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XII was a specialized low-altitude variant developed to counter the Luftwaffe's low-level hit-and-run raids along Britain's south coast. Powered by the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine producing significantly more power than the Merlin, the Mk.XII featured clipped wings for improved roll rate and performance at lower altitudes. It saw service primarily with RAF squadrons defending against V-1 flying bombs and low-level intruders during 1943-1944. The Mk.XII's unique appearance, with its distinctive clipped wings and powerful Griffon engine, makes it a fascinating subject for scale modelers and aviation enthusiasts interested in specialized Spitfire variants.
