Review: Brilliant kit for all levels, low parts for beginners and high detail - This version of the airfix spitfire in 72nd scale is probably airfixes best, separate mold for all the intakes gives great detail and good detail on the cockpit for the scale. Clear parts are decent not the best but pretty good. All the parts have a good fit and require little filler. However I found the cartograph decals a bit thick and took a few passes of solvent to get the larger ones to conform properly. This might be an issue for beginners. But if you have decal solvents it’s no problem. The only big gripe I have is that on the reference they give for the identifier scheme in the bottom of the aircraft (the black and white) it only shows the wings having this scheme when in reality the whole lower of the aircraft had this scheme including the stabilizers, any refrerence picture shows this and I’m not sure how airfix got this wrong. Overall if you do your research and take time with the decals it’s a brilliant 72nd scale spitfire kit probably the best in this price range. Only having Edward or tamiya models be better out of the box but those kits usually run more than double the price. Can’t really go wrong for the price!
Review: Kit arrived today (15/12/2022) at 2pm (14-00hr's) undamaged. - I had asked for a refund because off delay in arrival.NOT, the vendor's fault by the way.It was held up by the latest wave of strike's,and,thankfully,not lost. The model has just arrived (2pm) very well packaged, and, undamaged. Please forget any thought of a refund! This model kit (Airfix 1/24 Spitfire MK.1xc) is a joy to behold. Panel line's are clean and crisp,raised, and, recessed rivet's neatly done,and,a very subtle stressed skin effect in various place's.It is also in the harder better quality plastic Airfix have started to use.Insruction's are clear, but must be followed closely! This kit is not for a new modeller, some experience needed, paint and glue needed to complete.This is Airfix's best ever kit i think! Thank's to the vendor, for the strong packing,i will be buying from them again.This is the best spitfire kit in any scale!
