Supermarine Spitfire Mk I Aircraft

This kit is a great bang for your buck in terms of fit and ease of assembly. The parts needed minimal or no clean up, there were no fit issues, and the decals went down flawlessly. There is just enough detail on the sidewalls to keep detail painters busy, but not so much that its a chore. The instrument panel is a decal which is the only other downside to the kit (the first being the closed canopy only). This would be a great weekend build for a newcomer - or even an old salt. I had such a blast with this (as with all the new tool Airfix kits) that I would not hesitate to get another few to use with aftermarket detail sets and decals.

Hi, I have used this model as a base to recreate the Portuguese version that serviced on the Portuguese aeronautics. The model is really good, and full of details, the cockpit is really detailed for the scale. Lines are nice and not to deep. All together I strongly recommend this model

Fantastic model! Amazing detail, even breathtaking if I can be dramatic. The cockpit, for example, has minute little details that give it a crazy depth of realism for a 1/72 model. There's amazingly little flash on the sprues. Really I only had to do some minor trimming on the landing gear. The joints all fit perfectly. The decals were of top quality. This model is a real joy to build and a true value.
