Airfix 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk1a/Messerschmitt Bf109E-4 Gift Set (A50135)

It might only be a tiny 1:72 scale but, AirFix is spot on with detail. I love the fact that they made this a dog fight theme. It will fit nicely on a desk when finished. Great conversation piece too.AirFix, you did a great job with this kit!

Great starter set.Both models look great with good amount of details and good fittig.Can't wait to get my next one!I love Airfix

This is a great starter set of two iconic aircraft. The kits themselves are mostly flash free, with only a little in the way of mould lines to clean up. Clear instruction and paint guide. Decals are excellent. The only problem is some of the paints are showing their age. The Spitfire undersurface “duck egg green” is particularly nasty. A fairly experienced modeler will probably have better paints to use, but if you buy this for a beginner, please look at buying the appropriate paints separately to avoid disappointment and disillusionment. Overall, value for money for a two plane kit.

Excellent kit, 2 planes. Fantastic detail, engraved panel lines. Will be looking at other Airfix kits. They have come a long way from their kits of the 1970's and 80's!!

Great gift for beginners.

very nice, produt, thanks.

The kit was good but the paints were completely dry. Most likely sitting in a warehouse for quite a few years. Don't get it unless you already have the paints needed to finish this model.

So, first watch the price. It will go down to $22 and jump to $27 so get it when it is low. I have not built this kit yet, it looks good and airfix kits are good quality. My beef is with the paints which are all dried up and beyond saving, it would be wise to order paint separately. This seems to be quite common with these kits.
