Airfix Model Airplane Kit Gift Set - A05126A Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia, Plastic Plane Model Kits for Adults & Kids 8+, Skill Level 3, 1:48 Scale WW2 Military Aircraft Models Gifts

Really nice kit, good for mid range builders, and looks quite nice once completed. For clarification the only items included is an unbuilt kit and a decal sheet. Happy building.

Honestly, I should have said something sooner. When I got the kit, it wasn't sealed but I assumed that everything was there when I received it because it was listed as "like new" condition. So a few weeks go by and I'm finally ready to start building. I usually have three models in the que so not building them right away is sort of normal. Now, I'm a few days into it and I realize, there are no clear parts. The whole clear parts tree is missing. Currently, I am working with AirFix America to get a replacement, but if you are going to list something that is "like new" the only thing missing should be the plastic wrap. Okay, now for the model. For the money, I would have probably bought a Tamiya kit. The parts in this kit are good quality, though I do have a molding blemish on the horizontal stab, but I can fill it. The fit of the parts so far isn't great. There are some model design decisions that are a bit bizarre to me, but don't take my word for it. There just seems to be a few instances where the pieces could be better aligned with a few design changes. I'll update this review when I'm done. In summary, it's a bit of a challange, but at the price I paid, I guess I shouldn't complain too much. HINT-You can build many of the rockets right on the sprue. Update-Airfix was not able to supply me with the missing clear parts. So, I had to fabricate the position light from clear parts of another kit. I was able to purchase a F22/24 canopy from an aftermarket company. Hope it fits.

This kit fell together and looks great now that it's complete. My only problem is the landing gear. The joint fixing this to the wing is weak. It needs a strong glue to make it solid. No problems with the build otherwise.

Just received this in the mail. There is no paint, brushes, or glue included in this kit. I’m very disappointed and pissed off as I bought this ans an gift, and now I have to buy glue, paint, etc. There’s nowhere in the description that this stuff does not come with the product.

paint colors interior not on plans

damaged box and obviously been open and retaped, probably will return worse fitting airfix that i have built. problems with every aspect from cockpit, fuselage, and canopy. came with extra parts that made no sense. landing gear down option is weak and fragile

This is the best 1/48 Spitfire Mk I on the market

キット自体は素晴らしいものですが、いかんせんこの出品者は何を考えているのかわかりません。画像の通りシールを剥がした跡があり酷いものです。そのまま掲載すればよいものを。

海外からの発送なので、Amazonの提示した日付よりも遅くなると思っていたので早く届いたのは良かったです。ただ真ん中はつぶれないように補強されてはいるけど、全体ではないので、端っこがつぶれていてとても残念に思いました。

Mk.Ⅻはグリフォンエンジンを搭載した最初のスピットファイアで、英本土に低空侵入してくるFw190Aを迎撃する為に低高度用グリフォンエンジンを搭載していました。 Mk.ⅧとMk.Ⅸの機体から抽出されて生産された暫定型式の為に生産数は100機と少なく、配備された部隊も二個飛行隊に留まっています。 キットそのものは2013年に初登場したものですが、本製品はパッケージとデカールを変更した事実上の再販キットです。 さすが実機の母国で開発されただけあり、プロポーションは良好で、機首以外はMk.Ⅷ/Ⅸから引き継いだ胴体やMk.Ⅵまでの左右非対称のラジエーターなど、急造タイプのMk.Ⅻの特徴は的確に捉えています。 脚はエアフィックス製品のお約束として飛行状態でも作れますが、このスケールのスピットファイアのキットとしては珍しく、フラップはダウン状態でも作れます。 付属のデカールは最近のエアフィックススタンダードと言える、カルトグラフ製なので品質は問題ありません。 このスケールでスピットファイアをコレクションする上では欠かせないキットですが、価格は以前の3300円から6600円の二倍に跳ね上がっているのが驚きであり残念です。

1/48 size is pretty small for an old guy like me. Next one will bigger.

Small and simple to assemble
