Description
SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE MK.IX
This Spitfire looks amazing shimmering in the sun on a breezy day. It is 520mm long (20 ½”) and 592mm wide (23 ¼”), and the Propeller is c.300mm wide. (12”). The Spitfire turns itself into the wind as its propeller makes the most of a breeze and catches the light in a very pleasing way as it moves.
The ‘clearer-than-glass’ Perspex looks very smart with its laser-engraved markings (no stickers here). The Acrylic that we use is genuine Perspex Cast Acrylic which is UV stable and is one of the most common plastics used in outdoor applications. If you have any questions or would like us to consider any personalisation then please get in touch.
This kit is our own design, we make them to order at our small home-based workshop. The propeller has two sealed stainless steel deep-groove ball bearings as does the supporting pivot post. This kit is far superior to everything else I’ve seen.
The fuselage as a whole is reasonably well-scaled to the original aircraft but the propeller is a little oversized.
Everything that we produce is made at our workshop in Yorkshire.
We pride ourselves on our manufacturing standards, our turn-around times and our reputation for customer satisfaction. All the measurements are given in good faith, if we make a mistake that impacts your diorama then please get in touch and we’ll see what can be done to fix it. Please take a look at our feedback, it says it all.
We design and make everything that we sell which means that we are free to make off-book variations that may better serve your use case. If you want a variation then please ask via email.
