Overview

Build a tribute to one of the most unique and morale-boosting missions of the Second World War with this special 1:24 scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc kit. This model allows you to replicate the legendary "Flying Drays" – Spitfires unofficially modified to carry barrels of beer to troops in Normandy after the D-Day landings.

This highly detailed, 448-part kit is based on Airfix's impressive 1:24 scale Spitfire and includes a host of special resin parts to create your own airborne dray. The package contains two beer barrels with lids, modified bomb racks to carry them, two different nose cones, and a slipper tank. The kit also includes decals for several standard fighter versions, offering multiple build options.

As a nod to this spirited history, every kit also comes with an exclusive Airfix pint glass. It's the perfect way for modellers and history buffs to remember a unique piece of wartime ingenuity and raise a glass to the heroes who delivered courage, camaraderie, and casks, one flight at a time.
