TAM60319 SPITFIRE MK IX.C
About this item
Spitfires protected Britain against the ferocious attacks of the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain, which proved to be a crucial point in the turning of WWII. After this battle, the Spitfire continually evolved & fought until the end of the war. One of the many variants was the Mk.IXc, which was equipped with a new Rolls-Royce Merlin 60 series engine for superior performance. It went on to successfully reclaim air superiority over the Luftwaffe. Tamiya's exciting new model is the first ever 1/32 scale full-injection molded assembly kit & features unparalleled accuracy, making it a must-have for aircraft modelers around the world. The sleek form of the aircraft with its slim fuselage & elliptical wings are richly remodelled. The large scale enables an accurate, highly detailed reproduction of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine & cockpit. A 0.4mm thick engine cowlings allow for a fully accurate scale presentation of the engine while panel lines & rivet details provide exquisite realism. ETA Oct '09
