The Supermarine Spitfire is one of the greatest and most famous WW II fighters. It earned its fame in the legendary “Battle of Britain”. It was a light, very manoeuvrable fighter. Because its design history goes back to the early 30s. Many modifications and upgrades evolved from the prototype over the first prodution unit, the Mark I, up to Mark XXIV, built long after the war was over. The Mark IX (Mark 9) was one of the most famous, most often built versions with the old faithful 12 cylinder Rolls Royce Merlin engine.

CARF Models has decided to pick up an old “FiberClassics” project and revive a kit which was already designed and built in 1993, resembling a Mark V at this time. Modifications and refinements made the kit a state-of-the-art all composite Mk IX, matching precision, prefabrication and completeness with our newest warbird creations. It can be powered by a 60-80 cc single cylinder engine and it is currently only available as an all silver kit.
