Airfix | 1:24 Scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IXc (A17001) - Designer Video

We sit down with 1:24 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc Designer Chris to talk all things about Airfix's new superkit.

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!!!

Thank you gentlemen for bringing us such a wonderful model.

Brilliant work....Thank you chaps...Great interviews too

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.

[Slycockney]

Excellent video, the passion certainly shows through.

[okrajoe]

Fascinating to see the process behind the kit.

[michaelcraven]

What cool job to have! Looking forward to building this one.

[janburgers]

Makes you want to work at airfix! Nice project

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.

Arrived today, looking forward to the build.

[danmeehan]

A great kit, will start building mine soon

[scalemodelingltd]

Well done Airfix, I can't wait to get my hands on one.👏

[Flyingcircustailwheel]

I can assure you even just looking at it in the background this kit is better than the first Airfix offering lol, that thing was rough.

[neilharrison]

amazing watch, cant wait till i get mine

[markpaddy]

I have recently bought the new 1/24 mk viii spitfire.
What a kit!
Just build it and enjoy it, you won't be disappointed 😃
Unless of course you're a rivet counter 😂
Come on airfix, what about a 1/24 sepecat jaguar? 🤔👍

Ich wünschte, Airfix würde sich mal trauen eine Fw190 D-9 in 1:24 rauszubringen.

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!!!

Hope they do a Seafire 46 47! Or one that can carry Grey Nurse markings! Grey Nurse with Sharks teeth are coolest Spitfires of the lot.
