About this kit
The Airfix 1/48 scale Supermarine Spitfire Tr.9 (kit number A05143) is a newly tooled plastic model kit scheduled for release in Spring 2025. This kit represents the two-seat trainer variant of the iconic British fighter aircraft, developed post-World War II by converting existing single-seat Spitfires, primarily Mk.VIII and Mk.IX models, to include a second cockpit for training purposes.
The model kit comprises 128 parts and features finely moulded components with accurate surface details, including recessed panel lines and rivet patterns. It offers options for open or closed canopies, detailed cockpit interiors for both pilot and instructor positions, and decals for two post-war liveries: one from the Irish Air Corps and another from the 1969 "Battle of Britain" film aircraft.
Designed for modelers interested in post-war aviation and training aircraft, the Supermarine Spitfire Tr.9 kit provides an opportunity to build a unique version of the Spitfire that played a crucial role in pilot instruction during the mid-20th century.
