Authentic 1/48 Scale Spitfire Mk.1a Model

This new 1/48 scale diecast model reproduces the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1a flown by Flight Lieutenant P. C. Hughes in 1940. It is built for adult collectors and military-history enthusiasts who value museum-grade accuracy in a display piece.

Upgrade From Smaller Or Less Detailed Replicas

The jump is worth it when you need true-to-scale panel lines, antennas and access panels that smaller scales or plastic-only kits cannot resolve. The diecast metal and plastic construction adds a heavy, realistic feel that lighter models lack.

Display-Ready With Stand And Pilot Figure

The model includes a display stand and a pilot figure, and its opening canopy reveals cockpit detail without extra parts. At approximately 7.5 inches long with a 9.25 inch wingspan it fits standard aviation shelves while freeing you from building or painting.

Questions about this item

What are the exact length and wingspan measurements I need to clear on a shelf?

The model is approximately 7.5 inches long with a 9.25 inch wingspan, so allow at least that much clear space in both directions.

Does the opening canopy require any tools or glue to pose it open?

The canopy is hinged and designed to be positioned by hand; no tools or adhesive are needed to display it open or closed.

Will the diecast metal parts tarnish or need polishing over time?

The diecast construction is finished for display; occasional dusting with a soft brush is the only maintenance recommended.
