The Jurca MJ-10 Spitfire is a sport aircraft conceptualized by Marcel Jurca in France, intended as a homebuilt replica of the Supermarine Spitfire. Two distinct versions were planned: the MJ-10, a three-quarter scale model, and the MJ-100, which is full-size. The entire structure is crafted from wood, with options for the builder to install either a single-seat or tandem two-seat cockpit. The design primarily emulates the Mk.IX Spitfire, though modifications can be made by builders to replicate other variants such as the Mk.Vc and Mk.XIV. For the MJ-100, an alternative fuselage framework composed of welded steel tubing is also available. Plans for both models were distributed initially by Falconar and subsequently by Jurca Plans West.
By July 2017, two MJ-100 aircraft had been confirmed as operational: one prototype in France (registration F-WGML), which was originally equipped with a Hispano-Suiza engine but later converted to an Allison V-1710, and another in the United States powered by a V-1710 engine. Additionally, multiple units were reported to be under construction internationally.
