DESCRIPTION
Includes one 1:144 scale Spitfire IX aircraft, one plastic Flight stand, one Aircraft dice, two Rare-earth magnets & one Decal sheet.
The Spitfire IX was developed as a stopgap measure to counter the Luftwaffe's Focke-Wulf 190. The Spitfire VIII had been the RAF's initial response to this new threat but the aircraft involved a significant overhaul of the basic Spitfire design and would therefore take a considerable amount of time before the required numbers could be fielded.
