Despite the Spitfire's status as perhaps the most renowned combat aircraft in history, with over 20,000 units produced, no official two-seat training versions were created during World War II. This post-war development has allowed the current fleet of Spitfire T.9s to play a crucial role in preserving the legacy of this remarkable aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Airfix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: A05143\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeartland item number: ARXA05143\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53046501212472,"sku":"ARXA05143","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/6049\/2625\/files\/a05143_1.webp?v=1790542013","url":"https:\/\/munclemikes.com\/products\/airfix-supermarine-spitfire-tr-9-1-48-model-kit-a05143","provider":"Muncle Mikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
