Spitfire Mk 1A


FREE Shipping on orders over $150! *

The Spitfire was conceived as an interceptor with high speed, heavy armament, high rate of climb and the agility to make repeated attacks as well as to fight off escorting aircraft. Its characteristic elliptical wing shape, thinner than any other fighter of the day, coupled with an innovative aerodynamic ducted radiator produced extra power worth 70 hp at 300 mph.

This kit is a 1:9 scale flying model. Not only is this a great rubber powered aircraft, this jumbo model is also very popular for conversion to electric or gas powered flight. Pre-1942 design, eligible for Society of Antique Modelers (SAM) contests.

This free flight rubber powered kit contains a full-size rolled plan, hand picked printed balsa and balsa stripwood, vacuum-molded spinner, clear plastic for the windshield, wheels, landing gear wire, 12" EB propeller, EBM thrust bearing, FAI SuperSport rubber motor, TissueCal™ markings, and Easy Built Lite tissue in light sky blue and olive green. To build this model you will need a building board, hobby knife, fine sandpaper, and glue.

"Here are photos of my 50 inch Spitfire, it has 4 channel r/c. I beefed up the structure a bit and first flights are very nice. Thanks for supplying these models! Modern electric power has made them very nice r/c options." - Ken Nash

"I decide to go whole hog and make it electric and controllable. I have beefed it up to be fully functional with all controls and retracts. I am having fun with it. I have a size .25 e-flite electric motor for it. I just have to install the engine and cover the outside. I hope it works as well as it looks. I was able to wash out the wing tips when I put it together so I don't think stall will be too bad." - Garth Minish
