Eduard 8281 Spitfire Mk. IXc late version in 1/48 scale is an excellent choice for aviation modeling enthusiasts. This ProfiPACK edition set presents the late version of the legendary British Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IXc fighter, which entered service during World War II. This model replicates the aircraft that became a mainstay of the Royal Air Force from 1942 onward, and was also used by air forces of other Allied countries, such as the USA, USSR, and Poland (Squadron 303) in key battles of World War II, including the Battle of Normandy and the Western Europe offensive.

The Eduard 8281 model kit is made of high-quality plastic. The ProfiPACK version offers significant enhancements over the standard edition – it includes color photo-etched parts that allow you to achieve realistic details, especially in the cockpit and on the exterior.
