About product

Supermarine Spitfire Tr.9 (1:48, Airfix)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the two-seat trainer version Spitfire Tr.9 (T Mk.IX) in 1:48 scale from a modern Airfix tooling. The model captures the characteristic tandem canopy with two pilot positions. Check the actual package contents and the range of color schemes against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

The Spitfire was designed as a single-seat fighter and became one of the best known combat aircraft in history. The two-seat Tr.9 conversion was based on the airframe of the Mk.IX version and carried a tandem cockpit with dual controls: the pilot's front seat was moved forward and a raised instructor's position was added behind it. These machines served as trainers and conversion aircraft in the postwar period, and some still fly at air shows today. The aircraft was powered by the liquid-cooled Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts from the sprues and glue clean joints with liquid modeling cement for plastic. Glue the glazing of the tandem canopy carefully with cement for canopies so that the plastic does not fog; on the two-seat version, pay attention to the internal partitioning of both positions, which is visible with the canopies open. Paint the interior and pick out its detail before closing up the fuselage. Apply gloss varnish before the decals, then bring out the panel lines with a wash and add fine wear with an airbrush.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Spitfires and of British aviation
  • Modelers with experience building fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in the less usual two-seat trainer version

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
