The Airfix Model Kit Supermarine Spitfire Mk VIII Aust Decals is a highly detailed kit designed for model enthusiasts and WWII history fans. Based on the 2022 Spitfire Mk.IX.c, this new version features several upgraded parts to create an accurate Mk.VIII, including new wing surfaces, short-span ailerons, a retractable tailwheel, a revised instrument panel, and a repositioned fuselage light.

The Spitfire Mk.VIII, powered by a Merlin engine, was engineered for superior performance and adaptability across various altitudes and battlefields. It was primarily used by the RAF in the Mediterranean, Middle East, and by the RAAF in the South West Pacific. Renowned for its flying capabilities, the Mk.VIII was considered one of the best versions of the Spitfire.

The model also commemorates No. 457 Squadron, RAAF, known as the "Grey Nurse Squadron", who painted their aircraft with distinctive shark mouth markings. This kit includes decals for the aircraft of Sqn. Ldr. Bruce Watson DFC, offering modelers a detailed piece of aviation history.
