Information about the original:
The Supermarine Spitfire was one of the most widely produced aircraft in the world. Its high speed, reliability, and above all, incredible agility made it the most popular fighter plane of all time. During the “Battle of Britain,” the aerial battle over the British Isles, its deployment was instrumental in the famous victory of the Royal Air Force. It’s no wonder, then, that another legend created a musical tribute to this flying legend: the heavy metal band Iron Maiden, with their smash hit “Aces High” from the 1984 album *Powerslave*. The Spitfire Mk.II model in Iron Maiden’s “Aces High” edition brings these two icons together and undoubtedly ranks among the best gifts for dads!

Model Information:

Spitfire and Iron Maiden—two legends still alive
Today, there are still around 40 legendary Spitfires in the world that are airworthy. And in addition to them, there’s one more—a life-size model that constantly hovers above the heads of the six heavy metal musicians at Iron Maiden concerts.
When the guitars mimic the rich, raspy sound of the plane’s engines, the song “Aces High”—the anthem of the brave pilots who won the Battle of Britain—is a must.
In the grand finale, Dad’s fingers will automatically form the classic rocker’s sign with his index finger and pinky raised; his eyes will well up a little, and he’ll sing at the top of his lungs the words that have surely accompanied him for much of his life: “Live to fly! Fly to live! Aces High...” This is a great opportunity for all of you who are looking for a truly special gift for Dad—a model that will provide him with hours of fun while he builds it.

This gift will melt the heart of any rocker modeler
The 1:32 scale Iron Maiden Spitfire Mk.II “Aces High” will be a source of fun and the best memories right from the start. For example, the detailed design of the cockpit and radiator, the movable propeller, and the authentic decals for the “Aces High” version will fulfill everything you could want from a model.
As you build it, piece by piece, the legend comes to life. From a total of 115 individual parts, you’ll gradually assemble a model 28.6 cm long with an impressive wingspan of 35.1 cm.

The finished model is sure to impress you with its many clever details. Among other things, these include:
- A seated figure of pilot Eddie, which can be placed in the cockpit
- A standing figure of pilot Eddie
- A detailed cockpit with an instrument panel
- Detailed seat suspension
- Separate entry door
- Detailed radiators
- Rotating propeller
- Detailed landing gear
- Split cockpit windows
- Decals for the "ACES HIGH" version and the Iron Maiden stage version

If this album is ever playing in your home, there’s no need to think twice—you’ve just found one of those gifts for Dad that he’ll cherish forever—just like Iron Maiden’s music.

Heavy metal, flying aces, and Eddie the Head

What would Iron Maiden be without their famous mascot, Eddie? To make the Spitfire Mk.II model even more reminiscent of the British hard rockers, Revell has also included one standing and one seated Eddie pilot figure in the package, which can be placed directly in the cockpit.
