Gifts for Dad wanted? Surprise him with the Spitfire "Aces High" in the Edition Iron Maiden!

The Spitfire of Supermarine was one of the most built aircraft in the world. Its high speed, reliability and above all its enormous manoeuvrability made it the most popular fighter aircraft of all time. During the "Battle of Britain", the air battle for England, their deployment ensured the glorious victory of the British Air Force. It is no wonder that another legend has set a musical monument to this legend of heaven: 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 therefore belongs to the category Top Gifts for Dad!

 

Spitfire and Iron Maiden - the legends live

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

 

In principle, a song should not be missing when the guitars imitate the full hum of the airplane's engine: "Aces High", the anthem for the daring flight of the Battle of England.

 

At the latest then Daddy's fingers automatically form the sign of all hard rockers, the "Devils Horn", his eyes get a bit wet, and from full throat he sings along the line that accompanied him part of his way: "Live to fly! Fly to live! Aces high ..."

 

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