Announcing the Spitfire Mk I/II – Rolls-Royce Merlin Mk III Engine Set (1/24 Airfix Spitfire Mk Ia)

By Fischkopp Model Company

For all those who have been waiting patiently – the time has finally come.

The highly anticipated Rolls-Royce Merlin Mk III (Single-Stage Supercharger) engine set for the Airfix 1/24 Spitfire Mk Ia is finally here.

This set allows modelers to equip their Spitfire with a faithfully reproduced powerplant of exceptional accuracy and refinement. Every line, contour, and component has been designed to capture the true spirit of the legendary Merlin engine — a new benchmark in scale detail and craftsmanship.

Fittingly, this release coincides with the Telford Show, where visitors can view the 1/32 display model at the Beyond the Box Art stand. In the Competition Area, Class 20, you’ll also find model no. 680 — showcasing what can be achieved with this set. Build by Carl Robertshaw.

Pre-orders are now open from Fischkopp Model Company.

This set provides everything needed to equip the 1/24 Airfix Spitfire Mk.Ia with a Rolls-Royce Merlin Mk.III (Single-Stage Supercharger).

Once again, this release stands out for its exceptional level of detail, featuring finely rendered structures produced with the utmost precision and craftsmanship.

Estimated shipping: mid-December
