Supermarine Spitfire MK.IX - MODEL SET

The Supermarine Spitfire is considered one of the most famous fighter aircraft in aviation history and an 'icon' of British aircraft production.
The well-armed, single-engine, low-wing monoplane, along with the Hawker Hurricane, formed the backbone of the Royal Air Force's fighter aircraft that fought against the German Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain.
The Spitfire's success in battle helped cement its status as an iconic aircraft.
It was celebrated for its elliptical wing design and powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.
During the war, the Spitfire itself was continually developed in its aerodynamic configuration and engine in response to the Luftwaffe's technological innovations, which led to the development of the formidable Focke-Wulf Fw 190.
The Spitfire Mk IX version was able to compete on equal terms with the most advanced German fighter aircraft of the era and was produced in sufficient numbers to meet operational needs.
