Historical background:
The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX was one of the most important RAF fighter aircraft during World War II (1939–1945). Developed in Great Britain, the Mk.IX played a key role during the Normandy invasion and in defense against German Fw 190 fighters. The Mk.IX design was introduced in 1942 as a response to the German aircraft that outperformed the Spitfire Mk.V. It was widely used by the Allies until the end of the conflict and shortly afterwards.

A key distinguishing feature of this set is the use of durable bronze landing gear legs, which guarantee unrivaled durability of the finished model – especially useful during frequent contest presentations or when the model requires "heavier" loading. Detailed resin components and photo-etched parts enable the recreation of even the smallest details, while precisely fitted painting masks significantly facilitate the creation of flawless models.

Recommendations:
The Eduard 672138 set is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who expect the highest quality accessories and want to take the realism of their 1/72 scale models to the next level. Assembly difficulty: 3/5.
