Supermarine Spitfire Mk IXc 1/24

This model is designed for builders who want an accurate representation of a real World War II aircraft, combining a solid structure with well-documented historical details.

Materials and structure

The kit uses carefully selected materials to reproduce the look and feel of the real Spitfire:

• Wooden structure for fuselage and wings, providing strength and stable assembly.
• Aluminium plating replicating the original metal skin of the Mk IXc.
• Zamak (die-cast metal) parts for components requiring rigidity and definition.
• Decorative vinyls for historically accurate markings and graphic details of the EN398.

This combination results in a robust model with a realistic finish, ideal for painting, weathering and advanced detailing techniques.

Technical specifications

• Reference: 2WW01
• Scale: 1/24
• Length: 381 mm
• Wingspan: 467 mm
• Height: 113 mm

The 1/24 scale allows you to appreciate aerodynamic profiles, panel lines and control surfaces with clarity, without requiring excessive display space.

Colours, markings and serial

The model reproduces the markings and camouflage scheme of the Spitfire EN398 following RAF guidelines from 1943:

• Day Fighter Scheme camouflage: Ocean Grey and Dark Green on upper surfaces, Medium Sea Grey on lower surfaces.
• Sky-coloured spinner and rear fuselage band.
• “JE-J” codes used by Johnnie Johnson as Wing Commander of the Canadian Wing.
• Type B roundels (upper wings), Type C (lower wings) and Type C1 (fuselage).
• Red-white-blue fin flash.
• Serial number “EN398” on the rear fuselage.
• Canadian maple leaf emblem, representative of the Canadian Wing.

These elements allow the modeler to build a specific, historically documented aircraft rather than a generic Spitfire variant.
