Fündekals is pleased to announce our latest project - just about everything we’ve got on some really interesting and historic Spitfires! It covers the whole range of WWII era Spits, from some of the iconic Mk.Is of the Battle of Britain period right through the end of the war.

In 1/72 and 1/48 you will get decals for all 12 aircraft INCLUDING complete roundels and fin flashes for all 12!

In 1/32 the subjects are split onto two separate decals, with the early war aircraft on one, and the late war aircraft on the other.

All in all, a really interesting bunch of Spits, most of which have never been done before. Those that have, we feel have not been done justice, and we’ve taken a fresh look at them and tossed out all of our preconceived notions. We’ve recieved some able assistance from folks with a great deal of knowledge on specific subjects, and we believe those are done here for the first time the way they actually appeared.

We hope you’ll like what you see! They should be available by early summer, so keep an eye on our web site for updates.
