Review: Brilliant kit for all levels, low parts for beginners and high detail - This version of the airfix spitfire in 72nd scale is probably airfixes best, separate mold for all the intakes gives great detail and good detail on the cockpit for the scale. Clear parts are decent not the best but pretty good. All the parts have a good fit and require little filler. However I found the cartograph decals a bit thick and took a few passes of solvent to get the larger ones to conform properly. This might be an issue for beginners. But if you have decal solvents it’s no problem. The only big gripe I have is that on the reference they give for the identifier scheme in the bottom of the aircraft (the black and white) it only shows the wings having this scheme when in reality the whole lower of the aircraft had this scheme including the stabilizers, any refrerence picture shows this and I’m not sure how airfix got this wrong. Overall if you do your research and take time with the decals it’s a brilliant 72nd scale spitfire kit probably the best in this price range. Only having Edward or tamiya models be better out of the box but those kits usually run more than double the price. Can’t really go wrong for the price!
Review: Still one of the best 1/72 model kits to date for any modeler - Great subject with fantastic molding and super easy instructions great if you want something not to hard but still easy to complete and because it is great spitfire with so many ways to display with accurate and extensive detailing it's a great way to keep your self-esteem high about building models and at such a great price it's perfect canvas for different paint schemes like the markings for the Pink version so much flexibility for the price can't go wrong with airfix

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but not great
*by P***2 on 28 December 2020*

Read the small print on the back of the box first if you want the correct colour scheme for this registration of aircraft. The box clearly displays that one wing is black and the other white. Little did I notice the small print first that says that this colour scheme is incorrect. I only notice this as I was applying the decals. Okay not biggy I guess. But a shame after so much work has been put in. The kit goes together pretty easily but the decals are just too fiddly. On the side of the fuselage. The GR is separate from the RAF circle and the U is separate again. The U was a pain trying to get right. It was incredibly fragile. As was the tiny 2mm red squares that cover the guns. I gave up on those in the end. I've built the Spitfire before from Airfix and in the 1:72 Scale. That one came with paints, glue and a brush. That was a more enjoyable experience. The large lettering much easier to apply. I've ordered ( and it's just arrived actually) another one of these kits. Just to put in to practice everything that went wrong on this build
