Cobi Historical Collection Spitfire MK IX kit The Supermarine Spitfire was a British fighter and was taken into production in 1938 by Supermarine Division, Vickers Armstrong Ltd. In the first months of 1942, with the clear superiority of the Focke Wulf FW190 over the Spitfire VB, there was a lot of pressure to get Spitfires into production with the new two-phase supercharged Merlin 61 engine. The performance of the Spitfire IX was remarkably better than the Spitfire V, especially at heights above 20,000 feet. At the level, the Spitfire is considerably faster and the climb is exceptionally good. The maneuverability is as good as a Spitfire V to 30,000 feet and higher is much better.
