RCAF","description":"\u003cp\u003eOxford's Spitfire Mk IXE is as deployed by 127 Wing of 443 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force in Belgium, 1945. Up until 1942, the squadron was flying in a defence role over Newfoundland and Nova Scotia until World War II world demand saw it serving overseas, including Britain. After operational training in southern England, 443 Squadron took part in the Normandy offensive in 1944, then on to Arnhem and Nijmegen before wintering in Belgium in late 1944 and early 1945. From its base in northern Belgium, the squadron was supporting Mitchell attacks against the failing 3\u003csup\u003erd\u003c\/sup\u003e Reich with sorties continuing until early May, attacking factories, railways, trains and the retreating German forces from the Battle of the Bulge. In March 1945, 443 Squadron moved to the Belgian\/Dutch border closer to the front in preparation for the final offensive. Then in early May as the Allied ground forces worked their way further into Germany, the fighter squadrons were following close behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spitfire LF Mk IXE comprised one of the upgrades demanded by the Air Ministry to combat the hitherto superior German Focke-Wulf Fw190 in particular. As well as modifications to the airframe of its predecessors, the IX was also fitted with more powerful Merlin 61 engines. The early IXEs were converted Mk VC airframes but capable of a speed of 368 mph at 38,000 feet. However, the second half of 1943 saw production of a Merlin 66 powered LF Mk IXE, which became operational in March 1943. The Mk IXE was manufactured at the Castle Bromwich Supermarine works, where over 5600 were made. The later E type wings were structurally identical to the C wing but had their elliptically pointed wing tips replaced by shorter, squared off fairings which improved maximum speed at low altitude in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Oxford replica of the LF Spitfire Mk IXE features these later clipped wings with the upper body decorated in the dark grey\/dark green camouflage scheme with pale grey underside. Note the black and white invasion bands on the underside of the wings and fuselage which were added from the time of the Normandy campaign onwards to avoid 'friendly fire'. Also to note is the absence of outer machine gun ports although the new clipped wing allowed for a four cannon armament which was standard on all IXE aircraft. The Royal Canadian Air Force roundels feature on the upper and lower wings of our model with matching red, white and blue vertical stripes on the tail fins. The Squadron's nickname was 'The Hornets' and the yellow and black insect representing the Squadron insignia is printed on the port side forward of the cockpit. The fuselage features the Squadron's 21T Squadron insignia, alongside its other identity lettering. Final details see a yellow painted strip along the leading edge of the wings; the tyres on this model are finished in matt black but with silver hubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This 1:72 scale model comes boxed with a plinth to hold the model which is in flight mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDimensions and Weights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacked: 19.3cm x 19.3cm x 8.2cm ( L x W x H )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnpacked: 15.5cm x 12.8cm x 10.4cm ( L x W x H )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eExcludes shipping carton\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1:72 scale means that this is 72 times smaller than the full sized vehicle(s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a much more detailed explanation of scale and the history please follow \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.oxforddiecast.co.uk\/blogs\/news-1\/a-question-of-scale\" title=\"All about scale\"\u003ethis link\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore Oxford Aviation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFor More Oxford Aviation follow\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.oxforddiecast.co.uk\/collections\/1-72?pf_t_by_range=OXFORD+AVIATION\" title=\"Oxford Diecast Avaition 1:72 Scale\"\u003e this link\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OXFORD DIECAST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36073979216027,"sku":"AC098","price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0488\/9369\/0011\/products\/AC098.jpg?v=1633262792"},{"product_id":"volkswagen-bay-window-bus-montana-red-white-surfboards-76vw024","title":"Oxford Diecast VW Bay Window Bus\/Surfboards Montana Red\/White - 1:76 S","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis version of the VW van in its bay window bus format is particularly popular with 'surfies' who never mind the weather when heading off to the coast.

Further testing was carried out in the UK, the result of which was the definitive Mustang P51-D, considered a worthy adversary of the German Luftwaffe aircraft. Its engine comprised a Packard V-1650-7 licence-built version of the two-speed, two-stage supercharged version of the Merlin 66.

The Mk 1 sold 228,961 models between 1989 and 1997 when it was superseded by the Mk II. Assembled in Japan at the Mazda Hiroshima Plant, the Mk1 came with a front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive and a Mazda N Platform. Initially, it featured a 1.6L inline-four-engine, 116 hp. In late 1993 a larger 1.8 litre engine was introduced. Each generation carried a two-letter identification, the Mk 1 being NA. Pop-up headlights were unique to the NA (Mk 1) and it also had slim chrome door handles reminiscent of early British roadsters. Neither power steering nor power brakes were issued on the base models to keep both the weight and the price down.
