About product

Spitfire Mk.IX Floatplane 1:72 (Brengun)

This injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale captures the floatplane version of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX fighter. The package contains plastic parts, a clear canopy part, a set of photo-etched parts and waterslide decals. It is a short-run model of an unusual variant, attractive to collectors.

The real subject

The Spitfire was a British single-seat fighter with a Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine. The floatplane version was created as an experimental solution for operating from water: operations from the Norwegian fjords were considered at first, and later the Mediterranean and the Aegean islands. The floatplane never entered regular service; only a prototype, or rather a small batch, flew.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and glue the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate. Apply a primer before painting; an airbrush is ideal. Pay attention to seating the floats and their struts accurately, so that the model stands square.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of unusual and short-run Spitfire variants
  • Modelers with experience of photo-etched parts
  • Fans of the Royal Air Force and of floatplanes
  • Builders in the popular 1:72 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is the floatplane version of the Spitfire Mk.IX, a fighter with floats instead of conventional landing gear. It is an unusual, short-run variant.

Yes, besides the plastic parts the package also contains a set of photo-etched parts and decals. We recommend gluing photo-etch with cyanoacrylate.

Because of the photo-etched parts and the seating of the floats it is better suited to modelers who already have basic building experience.
