For faster kit assembly, the wing leading edge comes preshaped
and little carving is required. The Spitfire’s all-balsa exterior offers the perfect
surface for easy, professional-quality finishing. |

Its elliptical wing and Selig airfoil make the Spitfire smooth
and stable — offering a slow stall speed, excellent stall resistance and superior
handling throughout the rpm range. |

Precision-formed ABS parts increase accuracy while keeping assembly
hassle-free. Examples shown here include “teardrop” gun covers and fairings for
a smooth joint between the wing and fuselage. |

England’s fire-breathing fighter — now an easy kit project with dramatic detail.
|

Add Britain’s best to your fine fleet of Gold Edition WWII warbirds!
When the Spitfire MkIX entered service in July 1942, it quickly turned the tide
against Germany and the Focke Wulf. Top Flite’s kit honors the original with stable,
forgiving flight and accurate—but easy to achieve—1/7 scale detail.
- CAD-engineered balsa/ply parts interlock perfectly for straight,
strong assembly—an ideal scale project for “average” builders.
- Elliptical wing with Selig airfoil adds easy handling and
smooth performance to the exciting warbird looks.
- Photo-illustrated instructions show how to install optional
retracts (which pull back at an angle, as in the full-size plane) plus fully operational
split flaps.
- Balsa exterior can be covered with Top Flite Flat Finish MonoKote®
film and accented with the kit decals for a remarkably authentic finish.
- Optional scale accessories are available for more realism.
