1/32 Tamiya Spitfire

MkIx

This is the definitive Spitfire model. It has to be one of the best, if not THE best, model on the market today. The second in Tamiya's line of outstanding 1/32nd WWII kits.

The features are to numerous to count: complete merlin engine with full firewall detail, two type of gun sights, moveable control surfaces, positionable radiator exhaust doors,

clipped or standard wing tips, positionable flaps, real rubber tires, magnetic engine panels that can be removed and reinstalled after completion, drop tank can be installed

and removed after completion, landing gear can be switched from down to up after completion, and the stand is connected to a second drop tank so you can't tell

where it fits when the model is sitting on its wheels. included are two bombs and 2 figures.

There are markings for three different aircraft:

EN398, JE*J, Kenly Wing, RAF, July 1943

EN315, ZX*6, No.145 Sqn, RAF, 1943

TD202, "P", GC1/4, French Air Force, 1948
