Surely no aviation modeller can resist the urge to build a Spitfire, and this one offers something a little different.

The Supermarine Spitfire Tr.9 captures the iconic two seat design seen in experience flights across the UK today, and is available in a satisfying 1:48 scale.

With 128 parts and two distinctive scheme options, the Irish Air Corps Tr.9 based at Baldonnel Aerodrome in 1951, and the civilian operated Tr.9 flying over Buckinghamshire in 1969, it is the perfect excuse to pick up two kits and build both. A must have for any Spitfire enthusiast.
