Spitfire Mk.IXe

Experience history with the Spitfire Mk.IXe. This detailed flying model of the Spitfire Mk.IXe is ideal for experienced modellers and beginners alike. It is made of balsa wood and has laser-cut parts for easy assembly - no glue needed. The Spitfire was not only one of the most famous British aircraft of the 20th century, it was also one of the most significant aircraft of the Second World War. The Spitfire was continually improved during WW2, and the Spitfire Mk.IXe entered service in summer 1944. It had a Merlin 70 engine, which gave it a top speed of 404 mph. It could climb to a maximum altitude of 42,500 feet thanks to an incredible 1720 hp and a rate of climb of 4745 feet per minute. Prestige Flying Models introduces you to this accurate flying balsa model of Spitfire TD314, a perfect example of the formidable WW2 fighter, which is now in the care of Aero Legends, based at Headcorn Aerodrome during the summer months. The iconic Spitfire Mk.IX TD314 was built at Castle Bromwich in 1944 and, as a high-altitude fighter, was fitted with a Merlin 70 engine. After various moves it ended up with 234 Squadron, Bentwaters, on 26 July 1945, ready for service in this squadron's colours and with the squadron codes FX-P. Flying with 234 Squadron, it is quite possible that TD314 took part in the Battle of Britain in 1945 past London.
