Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX composite 50cc 2250mm (ARF) (UK Warehouse)

Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX composite 50cc 2250mm (ARF) (UK Warehouse)
Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX composite 50cc 2250mm (ARF) (UK Warehouse)


Of all the various marks of the legendary Spitfire, the Mk IX is considered to be probably the finest overal in terms of it's balance of agility, speed and firepower, developed as an answer to the FW190, this iconic version of the Spitfire was one of the best fighters of the war, the Mk IX played a large part in winning Allied air superiority and was so effective, it was still in service until the end of WW2.

This superbly finished Spitfire features a composite fuselage and balsa wings, horizontal stabilizer & rudder. This model has been really well thought out, the 2 pc plug in wings and horizontal stabilizer make the model very practical, both in terms of transportation and field assembly. Another neat feature is the quick realease canopy which features a seperate cockpit, this not only allows easy access to the fuselage, it also gives the modeler the freedom to build a full scale cockpit interior relativley easily. The excellent quality hardware also includes scale details such as radiators, cannon blisters, aerial mast, wheel covers and so on. This model will require retracts (not included) and we have a specially designed, scale full set available for this stunning Spitfire.

This model has an amazingly low flying weight as a result of good design and build quality, performance with a 50cc gas engine fitted will be amazing, large, scale 300ft loops and so on will be the order of the day, the Spit also lends itself to a practical electric power conversion as the batteries can be accessed so easily. There is no doubt, this beautiful Spit is an amazing giant scale model, in fact with a little work, it would be super scale/show standard, yet at a price that makes it affordable to many warbird fans, the sight of this Spitfire "beating up" your club field will make you the envy of you fellow pilots!

Any idea when you will get these back in stock?
Andrew  3 points - 4/14/2013
 
Just to update the review I left of this model I did complain to HK and in what can only be described as jaw dropping I was told to send it back undamaged and in original box and that according to them is it SOLVED Not one of my issues was addressed and if that is the attitude I will be taking it up with my credit card company TRY ACTUALLY SPEAKING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS NOT JUST SENDING A STANDARD E-MAIL AND THEN MARKING IT AS SOLVED

I bought the Spitfire, I bought the retracts, now what about scale wheels to match? (4.7" dia???)
 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points
We have some 4.5" wheels (which is what I have used) coming soon hopefully.
 Alasdair 14 points

 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points

 gavin mack 23 points
How soon for the Retracts, days, weeks, or months
 Lectric_high 143 points
I've asked that on the US discussion for this model & on the forums. Can't get an answer. Hope somebody replies.

At that size, I would rather go for a 80cc than a 50cc engine...
 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points
Really? This spit would come out at 20lbs AUW...80cc seems like overkill to me...each to their own!
 CHAMBO88 89 points
50cc engine review state 15kg thrust and the flying weight is listed as only 8kg.. i rest my case..
ShmeareD  98 points - 7/13/2012
 
Bloody just can't seem to push that add to cart button, so sooooo tempting......
 ShmeareD 98 points
Well that made it easy for me....we can we have one in aus?
 Bignuts181 34 points
Now that's a really nice looking model! Do you have the the retracts to go with the model available and can we Please have a nice big T28 Trojan ...... And again available in the AU warehouse thanks guys keep uP the good work!

The little red man on your shoulder is saying "do it, DO IT!" *) lol

Very close to ordering,it looks too good to be true at this price.Are the retracts available,if so how much?I've got to have one.Regards to all,John.
 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points
Retracts available.....today!
 happyplumber 2 points
Thanks Scott,part number and price please.Will there be a price advantage buying airframe,engine,retracts and servos at the same time.Regards and thanks,John.
 ShmeareD 98 points
So does that mean I can buy the retracts but not the plane, that plane would look so good flying over my home town of Melbourne!
 happyplumber 2 points
I'll bet they would ship to you somehow.It would look terrific flying over Melbourne or anywhere else .Even with shipping cost it will be cheaper than yt.Cheers,John.
 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points
Now available, they are only in Hong Kong Warehouse currently but they are very cheap for what they are!
 ShmeareD 98 points
Ok Scott, but what's the point in buying them if we can't get the spitty to put em in?
 Bignuts181 34 points
Hi guys this plane with a Dle or DLA or DM 55 will absolutely rock! We use to fly a full composite 88" spit with a super tiger 45 on methanol so 55cc petrol with Pitts muffler will be spot on.
 happyplumber 2 points
It's ordered and on the way,I'll let you know what she's like and keep you up to date building and flying.May take a month or two.Regards to all.
 happyplumber 2 points
Spitfire arrived this morning,even better than I expected.Loads of nice touches.I am delighted.To those of you who can't get them yet,they are worth waiting for.
