Hasegawa 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc

The Spitfire Mk.IX was built around a slightly modified Mk.Vc fuselage and powered by the Merlin 61 engine. These models included the low altitude "LF", the mid-altitude "F" and the high altitude "HF". While earlier models were fitted out with the Spitfire "C" wing armament layout, the latter half of the production run was fitted out with the "E" wing layout.

Markings are included for two aircraft:

• 316 Squadron, Royal Air Force.
• 443 Squadron, Royal Air Force (Clipped Wing).
