On the subject of Spitfires, this arrived today. Box is a bit battered but the contents are fine and still sealed in their original bags. For £10.50 I'm not going to complain.

It'll be built but not built up, and it's not 1/144 scale it's 1/6 scale but in 1/24 scale hehehe.
Have fun, JohnComment

Now this is different! It'll look good on a roof rack or trailer somewhere in 1/52nd scale!

Both good looking kits, I don't profess to be an expert on Spitfires but I was wondering why what looks like an air intake under the fusilage is so much further forward on the Airfix kit than on the Tamiya. All you experts out there will be able put me right?Comment

Ordered this yesterday afternoon from John at Scale Model Shop and it arrived at 8:45 this morning
Bit of an odd one as I think it is designed to be built without painting. The body shell is classed as being pre painted. This didn't bother me until I realised that the glass section is glued in
. However after some nerve wracking playing about, I managed to get the glass out with just one tiny crack that will not show. The bonus is that the glass is quite nicely pre painted so that will save me a job.
Oddly, the separate bonnet (hood) is a very slightly different shade to the body but not that you would notice if you were not looking. No matter as I will be re painting it.
The engine is basic but nicely detailed as is the interior, in fact the interior looks very nice. Wheels are not bad at all but are chrome plated so it's out with the bleach again. I fancy it with matt black wheels but I will see later. Oddly, it comes with steel rod for the axels.
First look, it is quite a nice looking kit, a bargain for the price
Does this constitute a 'muscle car'?

It's got lots of muscle so you'll be alright for the group build I feel. Looks great as it is but don't blame you for repainting it as that's half the fun "sometimes" isn't it. Look forward to the build good luck cheers John

Painting is all the fun for me with these kits John. Might be a bit too late to join in the group build as it ends next month. I was mainly asking because I know nothing about cars and the terminology of them lolComment
