The Spitfire was a true aviation thoroughbred, possessing striking good looks, yet devastatingly effective in combat. During the aerial duels of the Battle of Britain, its combination of speed, agility and firepower enabled it to take on the feared fighter units of the Luftwaffe, allowing the slightly slower and less agile Hurricane to take a heavy toll of their attacking bomber force.

One of the best Spitfire's out there. One little fit issue on the tail at the back, where there is a pin which you can remove so the tail fits together better. Apart from that great little kit.

Great kit
5/5 Great kit with overall good fit. Only minor issue is the accuracy and fit of the canopy, as has been said on other reviews. I got another boxing of the same kit, and by the great quality of the decals in that kit (until I made a stupid error and put some of the markings in the wrong place, which was entirely my fault), the ones in this kit are probably just as good. Would recommend to beginners and experienced model makers alike.

Fun, but...
A great little kit of a great airplane. This is one of the earlier examples of Airfix's new gen kits, evidenced by the heavier panel lines. Nonetheless, lots of fun to build and a fine cabinet filler!
