The Supermarine Spitfire is an icon of British grit and determination. Its fluid lines seem to blend art with aerodynamics. ParkZone has brilliantly captured the power and grace of the Spitfire with this remarkably scale, brushless Mk IX replica. The Mk IX was developed by Supermarine in 1942 to counter the threat posed by the Focke Wulf 190. It also has the distinction of being the first Allied warplane to shoot down an Me-262 jet.
Finished in an accurate World War Two colour scheme it represents Spitfire EN398 as flown by Royal Air Force ace W/Cdr Johnnie Johnson, commanding officer of the Kenley Wing. Johnnie Johnson survived the war as the highest scoring R.A.F pilot being credited with 38 enemy aircraft shot down. Designed for intermediate to advanced flyers looking to experience the thrills of fighter plane action with low strafing runs, and glorious victory rolls, the Spitfire MK IX from Parkzone really is the model to have! This superb Plug and Play (PNP) model requires you to add your own battery, charger, receiver and transmitter.
