Eduard 70123 Spitfire Mk. IXe 1/72 – plastic model kit

The Eduard 70123 Spitfire Mk. IXe in 1/72 scale is a unique proposition for enthusiasts of aircraft modeling and World War II history. This kit enables you to build a faithful miniature of one of the most important British fighter planes, primarily used by the Royal Air Force. The Spitfire Mk. IXe represents a relatively late version of the iconic design, introduced into service in 1944 in response to the emergence of modern German fighters, such as the Focke-Wulf Fw 190.

Spitfire Mk. IXe aircraft were primarily operated by Great Britain, but also found their way into the air force units of Allied countries, including Poland (302 and 308 Squadrons) and Czechoslovakia. The "e" version stood out due to its armament of two 20 mm cannons and four 7.7 mm machine guns, making it effective in both air combat and ground support missions. The aircraft participated in numerous operations in the final phase of the war, especially during the Normandy campaign and in providing cover for landings in Western Europe.

Eduard 70123 is a plastic model kit for self-assembly. The components are precisely made from high-quality polystyrene, ensuring excellent fit and a realistic appearance of the finished model. The kit also includes decals allowing the recreation of several historical marking variants, including aircraft flown by ace fighter pilots. The product does not include glue or paints—it is recommended to use modeling accessories dedicated for 1/72 scale.
