Airfix 1/24 A17001 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc Fighter Kit
Airfix A17001 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc Fighter
Elegant and graceful to look at, the Spitfire's appearance masked the fact that this was a deadly fighting aeroplane and one which was adaptable enough to undergo almost constant development throughout the wartime years.
The Supermarine Spitfire enjoys a legacy which is as strong today as it was during the wartime years. A modern monoplane fighter aircraft, the Spitfire would earn its legendary reputation during the Battle of Britain, when the pilots of the Royal Airforce stood defiantly against the overwhelming might of the all-conquering Luftwaffe. It is an aviation beacon of hope for a nation and its people during their darkest hour.
