1:72 Scale RAF Spitfire Mk. IXe Fighter FOV812005A
This 1:72 scale RAF Spitfire Mk. IXe is a striking addition to our collection of diecast military vehicles. The Spitfire is one of the most recognizable British aircraft of all time. Though fewer were built than the Hawker Hurricane, the Spitfire earned its reputation as a sleek, agile fighter that helped turn the tide during the Battle of Britain.

- Its eight wing-mounted guns could fire without being blocked by the propeller
