Eduard 672136 Spitfire Mk. IX legs BRONZE w/ 5 spoke wheels, pattern EDUARD 1/72

The Eduard 672136 Spitfire Mk. IX legs BRONZE w/ 5 spoke wheels set, dedicated to 1/72 scale models, is an advanced kit designed for modelers building the British Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX fighter. This product is produced using Brassin technology, combining durable bronze elements and precisely cast resin details to ensure both durability and maximum realism in every detail.

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX is one of the most recognizable and effective versions of this aircraft, introduced into service during World War II (from 1942). This model was widely used by the Royal Air Force and many Allied air forces on all fronts, from battles over the English Channel, through the Italian front, to operations in North Africa. The Mk. IXc, for which this set is dedicated, was created as a response to the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190, offering improved performance and combat versatility.

• Material: two main landing gear struts made of bronze – ensuring maximum strength and resistance to deformation, perfect for collector's models displayed statically.
• Resin parts: precisely cast fairings, a complete set of main wheels (modeled after 5-spoke rims with distinctive tread) and a tail wheel with strut, providing a realistic and detailed appearance to the undercarriage section.
• Includes a painting mask for the wheels, facilitating precise painting without the need for additional accessories.
• The set does not include photo-etched parts or decals, making assembly simpler but still requiring precision.
• Category: aftermarket accessories for plastic model kits (aftermarket, bronze/resin)

The set is recommended for both advanced modelers and ambitious intermediate enthusiasts who value a durable, detailed, and realistic rendition of the undercarriage section. It is especially appreciated by those who want to strengthen the structure of a model displayed at competitions or in dioramas.

The build difficulty level is rated at 3/5 due to the need to fit and paint metal and resin elements. This is not only an impressive but also a durable addition, thanks to which your Spitfire Mk. IX model will achieve a professional and exceptionally authentic look.
