Brand new 1/72 scale diecast model of the Supermarine Spitfire MkIXe Fighter Aircraft "ML407, Sq Ldr John 'Johnnie' Houlton, No.485 Sqn, Chailey" (1944) British Royal Air Force from *The Aviation Archive* Series by Corgi, this collectible comes in a brand new box and features a detailed exterior, true-to-scale detail, and includes a display stand. It is an officially licensed product in the manufacturer’s original unopened packaging, with dimensions approximately Length-5.25 and Wingspan-6.25 inches. Constructed from diecast metal and plastic, it offers durability and a heavy, realistic feel, with authentic panel lines, antennas, access panels, and surface details for an accurate representation of the real-life airplane, making it ideal for collectors and military history enthusiasts. The Supermarine Spitfire Mk IXC ML407, bearing the code OU-V, was flown by Pilot Officer John "Johnny" Houlton of the Royal New Zealand Air Force during World War II and served with No. 485 (NZ) Squadron RAF, a unit renowned for its distinguished service in the European theater. Developed in response to the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190, the Mk IXC variant featured a Merlin 61 engine that significantly enhanced performance, establishing it as one of the RAF’s most effective fighters. ML407 played a pivotal role in key operations, including the Normandy invasion on D-Day, June 6, 1944, when P/O Houlton achieved the first Allied aerial victory over Normandy by shooting down a German Junkers Ju 88 bomber while providing air support for the invading forces. Throughout its service, ML407 participated in bomber escort missions, ground attacks, and engagements with enemy fighters, exemplifying the resilience and adaptability of the Spitfire Mk IXC and the skill of pilots like Houlton, helping to maintain Allied air dominance. This 1:72 scale model, with detailed features and authentic markings, celebrates the legacy of P/O Johnny Houlton and the iconic role of ML407 in World War II, making it a prized addition for aviation enthusiasts and collectors.
