Features
1/32 scale assembly kit of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc
This is the most accurate Spitfire Mk.IX model currently available in any scale
This model is a totally new design and has nothing in common with any other Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire models
Challenging model production technology limits, the engine cowlings have an amazing 0.4mm thickness to allow for a fully accurate scale representation of the engine. These cowlings can be installed and removed thanks to small magnets

The details of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine including oil tanks, and supercharger have been faithfully remodeled
Movable elevators, rudder, and ailerons. Flaps can be depicted in up or down position
Landing gear parts included to depict either up or down position (interchangeable)
Photo-etched parts to depict details such as wheel covers, cockpit details including instrument panel (early / late) and seat belts with or without pilot
