    Bargain !, £900 for something that looks nothing like a spitfire ,and you only have to wait 3 years to get the completed thing !

        I started do this about five years ago the first time it was released , then I moved to Devon about Halfway through , I gave them plenty of notice I was moving but they didn't swap over the address when I moved , I sent them several emails informing them that I had moved but never got any of the issues so I cancelled it after about six weeks of moving

        Awful customer service , I think you can just go out and buy it anyway as a kit for more than half that price and build it in way less time than 3 years , the mind boggles who would wast that amount of money on something you could get for a lot less and be flying it a whole lot sooner

                  The general opinion would appear to be of a somewhat negative nature then?

                          An 'under construction' thread that would last nearly 3 years. Can anyone beat that ?

                              Not bothered looking this up, Ron's total price was enough to sway my attention, from what you aircraft builders have said ... Its obviously naff.

                              I would imagine rc gear is extra?? (I actually thought this dagostini company only did static hobbies)
