Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXC - Flying Dray 1:24

This extraordinary kit pays tribute to one of WWII's most uplifting missions—when Spitfire pilots took to the skies not just with ammunition, but with beer.

In the summer of 1944, after the D-Day landings, British troops pressing into Normandy faced fierce resistance—and a dry pint glass. Supplies were tight, and morale was vital. So, in one of the war's most unexpected missions, Spitfire pilots took to the skies not just with ammunition—but with beer.

This Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc limited-edition kit in 1:24 scale includes resin parts required to truly replicate the beer carrying Spitfires 'Flying Drays', along with a canopy masking set and the ML208 pint glass with every kit.
