About product

Control surfaces Spitfire Mk.IX 1:72 - resin accessory

A set of resin control surfaces for the British Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX fighter in 1:72 scale from Aires, in the version for the early form. It replaces the movable surfaces - the ailerons, the rudder and the elevators - with finely cast parts with a convincing fabric texture and leading edges. It is not an aircraft model but a detailed replacement that lets the surfaces be set in a deflected position and so brings an otherwise static model to life.

The real subject

The Spitfire Mk.IX was one of the most widespread versions of the legendary British fighter. It was created as a rapid answer to the German Fw 190 and was powered by a strong Rolls-Royce Merlin engine with a two-stage supercharger. Deflected control surfaces and ailerons give a finished model a sense of movement and look particularly natural on an aircraft displayed out of the level.

Fitting and tips

These are resin castings. Wash them in lukewarm water with detergent and rid them of any mold release agent, otherwise neither paint nor glue will hold. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine saw away from the part and sand the surfaces. They are bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate), not with plastic cement. Protect your airways while sanding.

Who it is for

  • Think the position of the surfaces through before you glue them - the deflection should be symmetrical and make sense.
  • Bring out the engraving and the fabric texture with a fine wash.
  • Level the mating surfaces carefully once the casting blocks are cut off.

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted, as a resin set for more experienced modelers. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

The early designation refers to the form of the control surfaces matching the earlier shape of the Spitfire Mk.IX. A variant for the later form also exists.

No. It is a resin accessory - a set of control surfaces. You need your own Spitfire Mk.IX kit in 1:72 scale to go with it.

It lets the ailerons and the control surfaces be set in a deflected position, which gives the model a natural sense of movement that static plastic parts cannot.
