The 2026 Range Launch
NEW BUILD: Airfix Supermarine Spitfire TR.9 1:48
Follow Dave’s build of this unexpected release from Airfix
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!

NEW BUILD: Airfix Fairey Gannet COD.4 1:48
A unique feature was the bi-folding wing system, designed to allow this large aircraft to be stored aboard relatively small aircraft carriers.
Arguably the most unconventional Fairey-designed aircraft to enter full production, the Gannet was developed to meet a 1945 Royal Navy requirement for an advanced carrier-based turboprop-powered anti-submarine hunter-killer.
