ICM 48061 - 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IX Scale Replica

The ICM 48061 kit presents the Spitfire Mk.IX in 1/48 scale, faithfully reproducing the aircrafts silhouette and key details. This kit is tailored for modellers who prioritise accurate proportions and authentic exterior detailing.

Role in WWII and Model Fidelity

The Mk.IX was introduced to regain performance against the Fw 190, featuring a potent Merlin engine and refined aerodynamics. This model represents those changes with well defined surfaces and accurate wing geometry.

Construction and Presentation

Targeted at intermediate to advanced builders, the kit features precise moulding that eases alignment during assembly. Finished correctly, the Spitfire Mk.IX becomes a standout display piece for aviation enthusiasts.

What paint colours match the original schemes?

Reference period photos and manufacturer paint guides for authentic RAF camouflage. Popular choices include ocean grey and green mixes for upper surfaces and sky tones underneath.

Is canopy masking recommended?

Yes, using masking tape or pre-cut masks will protect the clear parts and produce neat canopy frames prior to painting.

How should I weather the finished model?

Light panel line washes, subtle paint chipping on high wear areas, and tonal variation on control surfaces will add realistic wear without overdoing it.
