I believe that D'agostini approached the BMFA before releasing this model with a view to getting their approval, BMFA tried to explain to them that a Spitfire wasn't an appropriate choice for a beginner and refused to sanction the model, D'Agostini said they would release it anyway. Profit over common sense again.
