## Description

Product Description Unassembled Plastic Model Kit Safety Warning Warning - Contains small parts no suitable for young children

Review: very difficult fit - decent detail - Never heard of this make before, but was tempted by the good price for a 48 scale plane. I'll avoid them in the future however. pretty good detail moulded in a relatively soft plastic. Well detailed engine - unfortunately it just would not fit in the engine bay, and despite quite a bit of carving of the fuselage and the engine itself, still couldn't get the top panel to fit with the engine in place, so after more butchery, i had to glue the panel in place hiding the engine except for the spindle poking out for the prop, and the exhausts poking out of the sides - although in the end i had to break them off and stick them through the sides. There was no option offered in the instructions for just adding the exhausts and prop shaft without the engine in the bay, which would have been a great fallback position! I don't like using filler/modelling putty, but I did for this kit, particularly over the engine bay, and at the junction between the underside of the wings and the fuselage and on the top of the wings at the back with the fuselage. Other parts such as the usually tricky wheels were fine, but the bomb supports were very fine - nice but tricky. Overall I would say this was at least a 4 or maybe the top 5 on the Revell scale of difficulty - not and easy build, but made very difficult and frustrating by the poor fit in critical areas. It's not finished yet, but when I get it polished up and painted, I think it will make a nice model if the remaining stages and the decals go ok.
Review: Good kit for the price - For the price this is a good kit, it's got a few flaws: - overall mould quality wasn't amazing but nothing that can't be worked with -very fragile decals -not much detail in cockpit However for what your paying for it I would reccomend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***ー on 24 December 2023*

2000年頃に登場したキットで、マーリンエンジン型スピットファイアとしては最終形態と言える、バブルキャノピー型を再現したキットです。 全体的なプロポーションやディテールは良好なキットで、特にこのスケールで機首内部のエンジンや主翼内部の20㎜機関砲まで再現したスピットファイアのキットはICMくらいでしょう。 組み立てにはややクセがあるので、初心者向けとは言えませんが、スピットファイアフリークなら挑戦する価値はあるキットだと思います。
