The Spitfire was the most famous and primary single-engine fighter of the United Kingdom during World War II. From the maiden flight of its first prototype in 1936, the Spitfire underwent continuous upgrades, including the adoption of two different liquid-cooled engines. It not only played a crucial role in maintaining British air superiority but also saw combat across various theaters such as Europe, North Africa, and Asia, serving Allied nations as well. After the war, it even participated in conflicts in the Middle East.
Forces of Valor is well known to the collectors for three fundamental elements; Die-cast, Weathering effects and Moving parts. Since the first 1:72 scale tank debuted to the market, collectors were fascinated by the amount of details being added to the model, what collectors found most surprisingly upon seeing the models was the of level surface detail, even the internal engine, ventilation pipes, internal main gun stowage bin, something that everyone would normally neglect. To appeal the devoted collectors Forces of Valor has spent a significant amount of time & engineering into developing the hatch & hinges, different kind of gearings etc. Without actually visiting a museum, you can inspect the mechanical components with Forces of Valor replicas.
