  • We sit down with 1:24 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc Designer Chris to talk all things about Airfix's new superkit.
    Find out more: uk.airfix.com/products/superm...
    It’s an Airfix 'Super kit' like no other and so, to celebrate the imminent release of this highly anticipated new tool, we have decided to pair it with something very special.
    For each order, we will accompany the Adam Tooby artwork that graces its box front as an A2 poster, free of charge. Depicting the start of D-Day, 1944, this stunning artwork will not only complement your detailed new kit, but the walls of your workspace in true modelmaker style.

    Mann’s Model Moments built this and he did one of the most beautiful jobs I’ve ever seen and the fact that he built it right out of the box with no after market parts is an incredible testament to the amazing work y’all did designing and produce this incredible kit! Amazing work to everyone at Airfix!!!

    I wish Airfix would do a re-tool of their Battle of Britain Mk1a Spitfire. This is the Mk that the Spitfire legend was born. The tooling they have of this one is over 50 years old and very dated.
    It is an iconic British aircraft in an iconic British battle and it deserves a modern tooling that reflects this.

    Love it! I Rember when Chris was interviewed when he made the Hellcat. He said he hoped he wouldn't be doing another 1/24 scale model.
    I guess someone twisted his arm a little. What a great engineer.

    Excellent work, I have a 3d printer and would love to have an hour with him so I could learn to use the basics of cad, his work, or should I say their work is most appreciated, I love these behind the scenes videos, and I'm happy to see the brand returning to the UK 🇬🇧 😀 where it belongs.

      Surely it's best to produce where it's the most cost effective for buyers and staff? In times like these with spiralling costs is it not prudent to make the hobby as accessible as possible to as wide an audience as possible?

    Designing a new Airfix Spit is as important / nerve-wracking as designing a new 911, new Fender Strat, or new Eames Chair. Important cultural icons are hard, and only the best designers can do it as well as Airfix! Congratulations!!!

    Today, It has become obvious, this Kit has been acclaimed by Hobbyists. The popularity of this AIRFIX success is now well known. I have read glowing reviews and viewed builds on UA-cam which testify to this excellent kit. AIRFIX should be justly proud of this model which again sets new standards for the company and its fightback to become a leader in model kits. I have this kit and all the hype is justified.
