Safety Warning Warning - Contains small parts no suitable for young children Review: Superb model but not for beginner. - Wow! I am seriously stunned by both the quality and contents of this superb kit. Not only do you get a 1/48 scale spitfire you also get 6 ground crew figures (inc pilot) along with ground equipment and a boarding ladder. It comes with optional arms loadouts, canopy open or closed option and alternate rear rudder and flaps. You even get a dog! As mentioned in other reviews there is a tiny bit of flash on some parts but it is minimal and easily rectified by an experienced modeller. Compare this to an airfix 1/72 scale model which is only about £5 cheaper but half the size and with no extras with a rubbish pilot figure and minimal interia details. Absolutely no comparison. If you interested in getting a model spitfire get this, no brainer. Review: Good value for money - A bit tricky to get the fuselage lined up but with patience it can be achieved, lots of detail to the engine and weapons, good choice of figures and a few ground crew accessories, good value for money ## Features - For Adult Collectors Age 14 and over - Made In Ukraine - Contains unassembled plastic model kit - Cement and paint needed to finish model as shown are not included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00264RYZW | | Assembly Required | Yes | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 186,035 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 471 in Aircraft Model Building Kits | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (178) | | Date First Available | 9 Aug. 2012 | | Item model number | ICM48801 | | Language | English, German | | Manufacturer recommended age | 3 years and up | | Material Type(s) | Plastic | | Number of pieces | 135 | | Product Dimensions | 19.05 x 23.37 x 6.35 cm; 181.44 g | | Remote Control Included? | No | | Scale | 1:48 | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Child/Adult - **Brand:** ICM - **Colour:** Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 19.1 x 23.4 x 6.4 centimetres - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![ICM ICM48801 1:48-Spitfire Mk.IX w/RAF Pilots & Ground Personnel, 19.05 x 23.37 x 6.35 cm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TqAfnN+kL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb model but not for beginner. *by A***R on 7 July 2023* Wow!
