Revell 05688 Iron Maiden Aces High Spitfire Mk.II Gift Set (1:32 Scale) Model Kit

The Supermarine Spitfire was one of the most frequently built aircraft in the world. Their high speed, their reliability and, above all, their enormous maneuverability made them the most popular fighter aircraft of all time. Their use ensured the glorious victory of the British Air Force in the “Battle of Britain”. No wonder that another legend has set a musical monument to this legend of the sky: the heavy metal band Iron Maiden with their super hit “Aces High” on their album “Powerslave” from 1984. The model kit Spitfire Mk.II "Aces High" Iron Maiden is therefore guaranteed to be in the top gifts for dad category!

Spitfire and Iron Maiden – the legends live
Today there are around 40 of the legendary Spitfires still in airworthy condition worldwide. Plus one that still floats as a full-size model above the heads of the six heavy metal musicians at Iron Maiden concerts.

Basically, one song cannot be missed when the guitars imitate the rich hum of the aircraft engine: “Aces High” , the anthem for the daring flying aces of the Battle of Britain.

By then, Dad's fingers automatically form the symbol of all hard rockers, the "Devil's Horn", his eyes become a little moist and he sings the line that has accompanied him part of his way at the top of his lungs: "Live to fly! Fly to live! Aces high...”

This is the best opportunity for anyone who is looking for a very special gift for dad - a model kit for hours of crafting fun.

This gift idea will make the rocker's heart beat faster
The 1:32 scale Spitfire Mk.II “Aces High” Iron Maiden brings fun and the best memories right from the start. Their details, for example in the cockpit and on the radiator, the movable propeller and the true-to-original decals for the Aces High version leave nothing to be desired.

Little by little, the legend is brought to life during assembly. A total of 115 individual parts are gradually assembled to a length of 28.6 cm and an impressive wingspan of 35.1 cm .

The finished model impresses with numerous extras. Among other things:

• Detailed cockpit with instrument panel
