Description
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.
