The Spitfire was the best British fighter of the war, its performance was magnificent, fast, agile, well armed, it was every pilot's dream come true, at the same time, the Fleet Air Arm was equipped with the Sea Gladiator biplane and the slow and heavy Roc, it was urgent to have a more modern fighter, but the RAF was not willing to part with a single one of its Spitfires, they gave them in exchange some Hurricanes, which were quickly converted to naval functions, at least until there were enough Spitfires. to be transformed.
Within any large collection of models, I like to include one with fake Mexican insignia, so when I was putting together the Seafires, I included one, with the insignia that a Mexican aircraft would have worn in 1944.
