The Supermarine Spitfire Mk XII was the first Griffin powered Spitfire to enter service, doing so in October 1942. All production XIIs had clipped wings to optimise low level performance.
A total of 100 Mk XIIs were built, the type being retired from front line service in September 1944.
Photographs of scale models of the Supermarine Spitfire PR Mk XII can be found here.
