Discover the highly detailed AZ Model AZ7390 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc "MTO" plastic model kit in the popular 1:72 scale. This is a perfect choice for aviation modeling enthusiasts and World War II history buffs who wish to recreate an authentic fighter that had a tremendous impact on the course of operations in the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations (MTO).

The model depicts the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc – a British single-seat fighter aircraft, designed and manufactured by Supermarine for the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Spitfire Mk.IXc was developed in response to the appearance of the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in 1942. The Mk.IXc was distinguished by a more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 61 engine, which enabled the plane to effectively fight against the German Luftwaffe. The Mk.IXc variant was widely used not only by the RAF, but also by Allied air forces from countries such as Canada, Australia, France, and Poland (including the 303 and 316 Squadrons). These fighters actively participated in combat during World War II from 1942 to 1945, especially over Italy, Malta, North Africa, and southern France.

The AZ7390 model is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring intricate details and ease of assembly. The kit includes decals for aircraft flown in the MTO, and the surface panel separation allows for realistic application of Mediterranean camouflage schemes. The model does not include paints, glue, or tools – these can be chosen individually according to your preferences.
