    Product details

    Background & context

    Die Mk.IX war ursprünglich eine Notlösung: Als die Fw 190 im Herbst 1941 die Spitfire Mk.V deklassierte, setzte Supermarine kurzerhand den zweistufig aufgeladenen Merlin 61 in die vorhandene Zelle. Aus dem Provisorium wurde mit über 5.600 Maschinen die meistgebaute Merlin-Spitfire. Das Kürzel e steht für die Flügelbewaffnung mit zwei 20-mm-Hispano-Kanonen und zwei schweren 12,7-mm-Brownings. Nach 1945 flogen viele Mk.IX noch Jahre bei kleineren Luftwaffen in Europa weiter.

    On the tabletop

    The e in the designation stands for the wing with two 20 mm cannon and two heavy machine guns. This 1:48 kit has 124 parts and three marking options: an RAF aircraft from Ravenna in spring 1945, plus aircraft of the Danish air force and a Belgian flying school from the post-war years. In your cabinet it shows how the Spitfire flew on with smaller European air forces after the war. Beside earlier Spitfires in the same scale, the difference in armament becomes visible.
