The British Supermarine "Spitfire", probably the best known fighter of WWII, was one of the most beautiful aircraft of all time. The "Spitfire" Mk.IX appeared in 1942 in response to the new German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A fighter. The "Spitfire" Mk.IX airplane was reliable in service and relatively easy to maintain. It possessed excellent flight characteristics and was better armed and armored than previous marks. It was also extremely versatile. The "Spitfire" Mk.IX was deployed in many different roles - low-altitude (LF), universal (F), high-altitude (HF) fighters and as fighter-bombers. The "Spitfire" Mk.IX was in service with the RAF, USAF, USSR, Australia, Canada, France and many other states. A total of 5,710 Supermarine "Spitfire" Mk.IX planes were built from late 1942 to 1945.

The kit for an assembly of a model of the "Spitfire" fighter on a scale of 1:48 includes plastic parts and resin parts (exhaust manifolds and wheels).
