Here's the the fixed version because the joystick won't move and the canopy won't slide
The Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX is widely considered one of the best fighter planes of World War II. It was a significant upgrade from previous Spitfire models, featuring a more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 61 engine and improved armament. This combination allowed the Mk IX to achieve higher speeds and outmaneuver German fighters like the Focke-Wulf Fw 190.
The Mk IX played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain and the subsequent campaigns in Europe and North Africa. Its exceptional performance and reliability earned it the respect of both pilots and the public.
The Spitfire Mk IX's legacy extends beyond its wartime service. It remains an iconic symbol of British aviation and continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts worldwide.
