ICM 48061 - 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IX Historical Model Summary

The ICM 48061 kit captures the Spitfire Mk.IX, a key British fighter from the Second World War. This 1/48 scale assembly highlights the aircrafts defining lines and period features so modellers can recreate a realistic example.

Combat History and Design

Introduced to counter the Fw 190, the Mk.IX combined a higher output Merlin engine with improved handling. The kit mirrors these traits through scale accurate wing shape and cockpit elements for enthusiasts interested in historical fidelity.

Assembly Notes and Finishing

Designed with experienced builders in mind, the parts fit precisely and benefit from careful sanding and paint work. When completed, the Spitfire Mk.IX provides an attractive addition to a shelf or a historic aircraft display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Parts: Detailed cockpit and exterior
The cockpit includes detailed panels and seating that represent the Mk.IX layout well; painting and weathering will enhance the realism further.
Yes, there are aftermarket sets such as resin seats and photoetched details that can improve accuracy, but check compatibility with 1/48 Spitfire accessories before buying.
Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, files, glue, and fine brushes are sufficient. An airbrush and masking tape are useful for cleaner camouflage and canopy masks.
