Spitfire Mk. IXc was one of the key versions of the British fighter operating from 1942–1945 on many World War II fronts. The "C" version (unofficially known as the 'universal wing') allowed for the installation of various types of armament: powerful 20 mm Hispano cannons and 7.7 mm Browning machine guns. The gun bays were a distinctive feature of this version and contributed to its immense firepower, which enabled the Spitfires to effectively oppose new German aircraft designs such as the Fw 190.

The Eduard 672150 set allows you to recreate the interior of the cannon bays with exceptional precision thanks to 36 detailed resin parts – including the bay housing, wiring, and ammunition feeds. Additional photo-etched components provide highly accurate reproduction of even the smallest construction details, which are unavailable in standard plastic kits. Thanks to this, every modeling enthusiast can display the open gun bays in their model, highlighting craftsmanship and increasing its collectible value.
