The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX was one of the most recognizable British fighters used during World War II. Produced in Great Britain and introduced into service in 1942, it served in many Allied air forces until the end of the war and for some time afterwards. The Spitfire Mk. IX participated in numerous air campaigns, such as the Battle of Normandy and the Defense of Britain, as well as operations in Italy, North Africa, and Eastern Europe.

The use of metal landing gear legs made of durable bronze not only increases realism, but more importantly, significantly reinforces the model’s structure, making it more resistant to mechanical damage and deformation under load. Additional detailing with photo-etched parts and the option to choose the undercarriage version (with or without scissor links) make this set exceptionally versatile. The precisely crafted resin landing gear covers ensure a very high level of detail under the wings.

The assembly difficulty level is rated at 3/5 – recommended for intermediate modelers who already have experience working with metal and resin as well as precise part processing.

We confidently recommend the Eduard 672134 set not only to enthusiasts of British WWII aviation, but to all modelers who want to safely and effectively upgrade their Spitfire Mk. IX models in 1/72 scale.
