Italeri 2804 - 1/48 Spitfire Mk. IX: Accurate Scale Replica

The Italeri 2804 1/48 Spitfire Mk. IX is designed for modellers who want a faithful representation of this historic fighter. The Mk. IX played a significant part in WWII air operations and this kit aims to reflect that aircrafts proportions and surface features.

Operational History and Model Accuracy

Introduced to tackle opponents like the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, the Spitfire Mk. IX used an uprated Merlin engine to regain an edge in performance. Italeri renders the distinguishing features so builders can achieve an accurate small-scale reproduction.

Assembly Experience and Collector Appeal

The 1/48 scale provides a good compromise between detail and manageability. Parts are arranged to offer a straightforward build for those comfortable with standard modelling techniques, and the completed kit makes a fine cabinet piece alongside other WW2 aircraft.
