Scale and subject

This 1/48 scale diecast model reproduces the Supermarine Spitfire Mk IXc coded MA466, BQ-S, flown by RAAF No. 451 Squadron from Corsica in 1944. It is aimed at adult collectors and military-history enthusiasts who value officially licensed, true-to-scale replicas.

Detail and presentation

The diecast metal and plastic construction provides a heavy, realistic feel while rendering realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details. A detailed exterior, opening canopy and included pilot figure add display depth, and the supplied stand allows immediate shelf or desk mounting.

Build and display needs

The model arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging, so no assembly is required beyond placing it on the stand. At approximately 7.75 inches long with a 9.25 inch wingspan it fits standard 1/48 display cabinets, though buyers needing larger scales or multi-aircraft dioramas will need additional models.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the Hobby Master Spitfire Mk IXc on its display stand without stressing the landing gear?

Remove the model from the foam cradle, extend the stand arm fully, then lower the aircraft onto the peg so the weight rests on the fuselage rather than the retractable gear.

What parts of the 1/48 diecast may need attention after long-term display?

The opening canopy hinge and pilot figure can loosen with repeated handling; a tiny drop of removable adhesive on the hinge pin keeps it stable.

At what wingspan does the model first hit shelf clearance limits?

The 9.25-inch wingspan is the widest fixed dimension, so any shelf narrower than that will clip the wingtips.
