Got to get one now just to do the shark mouth with the blue nose

 

[Alan 45]

Yeah that one does appeal to me as well but I might go for the stripped one on the tail

Mine has just arrived at Hattons (best price I could find at 80.00 pounds!) and is on it's way.

It was on sale for for £99 in my LHS but seeing as I've had it on order for five months and the price on the website was £89 pound that's what I paid I wonder how much it will go for at yeovilton on Saturday ? I bet it will be over priced !

Does look good and the detail looks superb, should make into a magnificent model...pity it is so expensive

It's a spitfire I'm not really a fan however if you bought it me I would build it :P

 

[Polux]

Looking excellent Alan!!!

Arrffff....what I have to do!!!!

 

[tr1ckey66]

Mine arrives tomorrow, it'll be a while before I build it though. I'm going to take a break from aircraft after the 5 Spits and do something completely different. This beauty will have to wait.

Cheers

I think its good value when you compare it with Zoukei Mura and Tamiya 1/32 kits.

Wow thats a lot of choice looking plastic Alan ,ca'nt wait to see you get cracking on it. I've always liked the Tiffy and was sad to read during some research that there is only one left. Makes seeing this big offering very tempting indeed! Thanks for the sprue shots!
