Eduard 648748 Spitfire Mk.IX landing flaps PRINT EDUARD 1/48 – set of flaps for the Spitfire Mk.IX model in 1/48 scale

The Eduard 648748 set is a high-quality accessory dedicated to upgrading the plastic model of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX fighter in 1/48 scale (recommended kit: Eduard). The set allows for a realistic reproduction of the wing landing flaps, one of the key structural elements of this iconic WWII fighter aircraft.

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX was one of the most important RAF fighter planes, widely used by Great Britain, its allies, and the Polish Air Force in the West. It first saw combat in 1942 and remained in service until the end of WWII on all European fronts—including battles for Normandy and during the defense of the British Isles.

• Scale: 1/48
• Country of service: Great Britain and its allies (including Poland, Canada, Czechoslovakia, USSR)
• Historical period: World War II (in use 1942–1945)
• Category: 3D detail for plastic model kits
• Material: advanced 3D printing (photopolymer resin) ensuring precise detail reproduction
• Additional elements: photo-etched parts allowing for the recreation of very fine flap structures. Decals and painting masks are not included.

The Eduard PRINT set provides exceptional detail precision thanks to 3D printing using state-of-the-art industrial equipment. The flaps reproduce even the smallest original construction elements, which are impossible to achieve using standard injection-molding techniques. It is an excellent choice for advanced modelers seeking maximum realism and perfect aesthetics for their build.

We recommend this product to aircraft model modification enthusiasts who want to enrich their Spitfire Mk.IX replicas with eye-catching details and raise their model’s authenticity. The landing flaps can be installed as replacements for the kit parts, but their application requires precision and experience with small components—difficulty: 4/5 (advanced).

By choosing Eduard 648748 Spitfire Mk.IX landing flaps in PRINT version, you invest in the highest quality and unmatched realism for your historical Spitfire fighter model.
