The Spitfire Mk.IXC is one of the most recognizable versions of the iconic British fighter. During the battles for Normandy, aircraft of this type assigned to the RAF took part in a unique operation – a spontaneous action delivering beer to soldiers on liberated French territory. Pilots used, among other things, wing pylons to carry beer barrels, which has become a legendary anecdote among Allied troops on the Western Front.

The ICM 48060 kit faithfully replicates both the details of the Spitfire fighter itself and its unusual delivery equipment, namely special beer barrel containers. Carefully prepared documentation and a clear assembly guide enable you to build an impressive and historically accurate model that will enrich any World War II collection. Thin plastic parts ensure excellent fit and a realistic appearance.

The set does not include glue or paints – they must be purchased separately. The kit is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to expand their collection with a unique subject from military aviation history. We rate the overall difficulty as 3.5/5 – the model requires precision but is not overly complicated, making it an excellent base for custom modifications and advanced painting techniques.
