Product details

Brand: Airfix

Surely no aviation modeller can resist the urge to build a Spitfire and this model kit features a two-seater design, inspired by the many experience flights around the UK today. In a chunky 1:48 scale, this kit is made up of 128 pieces with two scheme options - buy two and build them both! History With so many airworthy two-seat Spitfires currently offering members of the public once-in-a-lifetime flight experience opportunities around the country, it’s interesting that every Spitfire T.9 started as a single-seat fighter, either a Mk.VIII or more commonly, a Mk.IX. Also, despite the Spitfire being arguably the most famous fighting aeroplane in history, with over 20,000 aircraft eventually produced, no official two-seat training variants were produced during the Second World War. A post-war phenomenon, the current fleet of Spitfire T.9s is helping to preserve the legacy of this magnificent aircraft.

I haven't built this one yet, but the detail is incredible! The moulding is crisp with no flash, and the decals are the usual high quality Airfix offerings. Going to make this one in the Irish colours to make it stand out!

Fills an important gap in the Spitfire family in 1/48th. Any chance now of a prototype Spit in the same scale?

Great detail but the new Airfix plastic is awful and some of the tiny detail parts impractical to detach and apply without a microscope and micro tweezers.

Well up to Airfix's usual standards. Very nice surface detail and good instructions. If I was going to criticise it I would say that the front cockpit canopy, if fixed in the open position, looks a bit too thick for the scale but otherwise the kit is fine and the marking options are interesting.
