Supermarine Spitfire - Replicas

Replicas

Several small manufacturers have produced replica Spitfires, either as complete aircraft, or as kits for self building. These range in scale from 3/4 full scale to full-size, although most use wooden construction, rather than the original all-metal monocoque design. Examples include the Jurca Spit from France, and those manufactured by Tally Ho Enterprises in Canada, SAC in California, USA, and even the microlight Silence Twister from Germany. Supermarine Aircraft originally from Brisbane, Australia, and now based in Cisco Texas, manufacture the 80% scale Spitfire Mk 26 and the 90% scale Mk 26B replicas. The Supermarine Spitfire Mk 26 and 26B are supplied in kit form and are the only all-aluminium reproduction Spitfires in production. The Isaacs Spitfire is a homebuilt 60% scale replica.
