Spitfire Mk.IX

The first of a new 50cc Warbird range utilising everything we've learn't from the smaller Spit.

Our Spitfire Mk.IX will be sure to please in the markings of Johnnie Johnson, the greatest Spitfire ace of WW2.

Everyone at some stage wants to own a model Spitfire, though many feel they are not capable of flying what has traditionally been described as a difficult scale model.

Not now, as all of our Warbirds are superb flying models with handling to match your average sports hack. Not only do we use washout but also a special wing section designed to reduce tip stall. Add to this scale flaps and you have a model that will land at a realistically slow speed without any signs of stall.

As with most of our scale designs the Spitfire consists of a high quality moulded fuselage complete with panel line and rivet detail. The wings and tailplane parts are of a built-up construction for lightness and strength, with a bespoke covering designed specifically to accept paint without risk of flaking or wrinkling.

The completed airframe is sprayed with accurate RAL colours with all decals pre-applied. Finally the surface is coated with a matt seal to keep the model looking like new for longer and stop the film and decals from lifting.

Many of our aircraft have additional retract sets available that include everything needed for a professional setup. Or if you prefer you can use the standard fixed undercarriage as supplied in the kit with the option to always upgrade later.

You won't find a better, more accurate 50cc sized ARTF Spitfire anywhere. The same could be said for all of our scale models. You only have to look at the pictures above to see that many of our customers enhance their models further with extra details such as our resin exhaust kits.

Own the one model you've always promised yourself!
