Spitfire Mk-II

This kit is great, especially for the price. The detail level is pretty good and considering this is the typical Revell kit style this is great. Its a great weekend build and easy to get to build up into the subject. This isnt a kit that you are going to be able to super detail right out the box but I feel its a great starting point even for that. I had no fit issues and the clear parts are good. Great impulse buy kit

My only British entry into my WWII collection as yet, although I have my eye on the pricey Avro Lancaster bomber. I have seen the Spitfire in action and it is a wonder to see. Every chance I get to see actual birds flying I take it. It will make you want to model all the more. I think Revell models are fine representations of these WWII aircraft if you do not want to spend a lot of time on detail, like cockpits. If the actual lines of the bird is what you want then these kits are for you. Most builds go together beautifully and this was one of those.

This is a no frills kit if there ever were one. There is no cockpit, no pilot, and the canopy is made up of an uneccessarily tiny three pieces (it should have been two small pieces or one simple piece. In fact, I bought two of these spitfires and for the second one, i used two extra clear canopy pieces from another set). The model contains no weaponary/drop tanks for the undercarriage, nor does it have any guns protruding from the front of the wings. Finally, the decal set does NOT match up with the instructions on the back page of the directions! The letter markings for the plane that appear on the decal set ARE NOT the same letters that appear on the diagram on the instructions. Nor do the numbers next to the decals correspond with the numbers on the instructions. This is a very simplistic, and is the poorest kit that I've purchased and put together so far.
