Hi Anthony.
The kit you posted the link to is the carrier version of the Spitfire. The Seafire.
These didnt come into service until later in the war. They were based on modified Spitfire Mk V's and werent around during the Battle Of Britain.
All the best

92 Squadron flew some Ib, during the BofB; Sgt. "Grumpy" Unwin was one of the pilots. According to his armourer it was R6776 QJ-H. Whether they carried the outer Brownings, or not, the compartments, with their covers, were still in place.
