Hasegawa 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Ixc 09079 Plastic Model Kit

Hasegawa - 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IXc

This Royal Air Force plane deserves a royal treatment. Hasegawa made their version of this important British air fighter. The JT79 Spitfire Mk.IXc on 48 scale is a gorgeous kit that contains this finely tuned World War II aircraft. Hasegawa was able to catch the subtle shape of the fuselage and all the curves and angles that have been eluded my other model manufacturers. It is easy to put together that modelers of whatever skill level would not have any problem assembling.

The Supermarine Spitfire was a British fighter of the WWII era. It was a single-engine, all-metal, low-wing monoplane with retractable landing gear. While the Mk VI variant was being designed, an earlier Mk VC was equipped with a new more powerful engine. It was hoped that this would quickly improve the plane's performance and result in an interim variant.

A total of 5,656 Mk IX were produced and 262 more Mk Vs were converted to Mk IX. Intended as a transitional stop-gap measure for the Mk VII and Mk VIII, the variant remained in production until the end of the war, ultimately becoming the most mass-produced Spitfire version. This mark was also used as a fighter-bomber and a reconnaissance plane.
