ICM 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IX WWII British Fighter Plane

The British Spitfire fighter plane was one of the “flying legends” of World War II. In 1942, the Spitfire Mk.IX modification on the Mk. V base included the installation of a more potent engine. The plane was reliable in service and possessed excellent flight characteristics. The Mk.IX were used in the European theatre of WWII in many roles – as universal (F), low-altitude (LF) and high-altitude (HF) fighters, as well as being used as fighter-bombers. The Spitfire Mk.IX were in service in the RAF, USAAF, Air Forces of USSR, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia and some other countries.
