This vintage Franklin Mint pewter model represents the legendary Supermarine Spitfire K5054, the original prototype that first flew in March 1936 — marking the birth of Britain’s most famous fighter.

Produced in 1986, this collectible is part of Franklin Mint’s early aviation series, crafted entirely from solid pewter with fine engraved panel lines and a simple display stand. Built long before modern diecasts, it carries that unmistakable charm of 1980s craftsmanship — a model made to last, not mass-produced.

The Spitfire K5054 was the aircraft that changed the course of aviation history, leading to the wartime versions that became symbols of British courage and engineering excellence. This piece is a tangible link to both the Spitfire’s origins and the golden age of model collecting.
