Why this aircraft matters
The Spitfire Mk.IX was introduced to counter the Focke Wulf Fw 190 and became one of the most important variants of the Spitfire family. Aircraft flown by the 31st USAAF symbolised close Allied cooperation during the Second World War.
“Porky II,” flown by Lt. Robert Connor, carried distinctive nose art that reflected the personal stories behind wartime fighters. This model captures that moment in aviation history with accurate markings and period correct camouflage.
How to use it
Place it on your shelf, desk, or alongside other 1/72 WWII aircraft. Pair it with Axis or Allied fighters to build a focused Battle of Europe display.
