Taken from Kotare's Facebook page regarding their upcoming Spitfire Mk.Ia:

At this stage we're looking at 3 Mid production options. Al Deere's KL-B obviously and another N3### serial number machine, probably Dirty Dick, and a P9### machine. Early K & L and late R & X etc serial numbers for future editions.

Initial release is now a mid-production boxing. [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Early and Late production boxings will follow later[/COLOR]. There were just so many alternative parts required for each version that we decided they really needed their own specific releases.

No 3D printing included in this kitset. But something being explored for separately available extra detail/conversion parts for the future. No.promises though. Richard.

We concentrated on what can be seen in the wheel bays and cockpit. No engine detail on this one

Needs to be 1/32!

Not exactly the Internet - but can anyone remember making one of these?

I can remember making this as an Airfix model - never knew that it was 1/16 scale & was a repop of a 1962 Kitmaster model.
Too rich for my blood nearly £20 with 3 days to go! - a real collectors price........

Wow remember seeing it in woollies, lovely wooden floors and counters ,hot salted peanuts, bag of broken biscuits, think mum would leave me at the model section they used to have that great big peg board behind with all the finished kits on it while she got what she wanted ,how times have changed.

Remember it as well. Never made one, but I also didn’t realise it was a rosebud kitmaster…..looking it up here…

looks like it was the last Rosebud kit and the first Airfix one that reissued…..Dapol are still making some of the loco kits….a shame that some of the more interesting ones went by the board though.

Now that one sadly only fired birthday cake at mein Fuhrer, with the barrel doing the nazi salute

[Tim Marlow]

Yes, but it had lots of candles on the roof….,and the special “moustache “ camouflage

They really would be better off just releasing decal sets plus one box of street signs, wouldn’t they?
