Italeri 1/48 Scale Spitfire Mk. IXc "Beer Truck" Plastic Model Kit

Build your static model fleet with the 1/48 scale Spitfire Mk. IXc "Beer Truck" Plastic Model Kit. The Spitfire is certainly the most famous and best known fighter aircraft of World War II. Winning many dogfights in the conflict, the plane was first developed in the 1930s. It underwent a continuous evolution and improvement program for its aerodynamic features as well as its engine and armaments.

The Mk. IX version was first produced in large numbers at the end of 1942. Over the course of its long operational use, this fighter aircraft was used to "transport" beer to lift the spirits of English troops right after the landing in Normandy in the summer of 1944. This was actually a very limited operation, though it was to have a great impact in terms of propaganda on the spirits of the soldiers.

The Italeri range of kits are manufactured from tough styrene plastic and provide a high level of scale detail.
