Tamiya 60319 1/32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc Detailed Model Kit  [60319]

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc Project Summary

The Supermarine Spitfire is a hallmark fighter of World War II, created by R.J. Mitchell and instrumental in the Battle of Britain. The Mk. IX was developed to counter the Fw190A and used the Merlin Series 60/70 engines with a two-stage supercharger, improving its combat performance and ensuring ongoing production through the war.

Parts and Customisation

The Tamiya 1/32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc kit is crafted with clear panel lines and a selection of parts for authentic variations. You can choose different fuel tanks, air filters, exhaust layouts, cowling profiles, wing bulges, tip designs and tail elements to match specific aircraft examples.

This release also contains early and late wheel options, multiple gunsight styles, rubber brake line replicas and detailed bomb racks. Both open and closed canopies are supplied so the model suits static display or action-themed dioramas.

Authenticity and Display Options

The kit reproduces the Rolls Royce Merlin arrangement and the 'C' wing weapon fit with fidelity, while thin engine cowlings attach via magnets to allow comfortable access for painting and inspection.
