Reviews : Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire MK1 Fighter Aircraft

My previous builds have all been US Fighters however no collection can be complete without a Spitfire. This is a very good kit with nice fits and quality decals. It meets all of the quality you would expect from Tamiya. Very little filling and sanding required to end up with a first class model. I ended up putting a medium matte finish on the model to show some aging and wear rather than out of the assembly line shine finish. This was also a first for me and I like the way it ended up. I would highly recommend this kit as a terrific build. It is now proudly in my collection and I have already started thinking about adding a Hurricane after my next build, a Bearcat.

Great quality kit. Everything went together very well over the day and a half it took to build and paint this kit. I built it in tandem with a Me-109 from the same period (Battle of Britain) for my nephew as a pairing (good guy vs. bad guy). Everything went together just great and was incredibly pleasurable experience to build.

Great quality kit from Tamiya, fit together nicely, good decal selection, good detail in the molding. Well worth the additional cost vs other manufacturers, great kit to build in a weekend.

this kit didn't have many parts so it doesn't take long to build but the parts were of good quality and everything fit properly
