My first Spitfire model was the Airfix 1/72 Vb with Jan Zumbach's BM144 on the box and it's been my favourite mark ever since, so this news is so exceptionally exciting for me!

Prefer a Hurricane meself, but still have the two Kotare Mk1s in the stash, which will very probably be three before too long because I want to do K5054. 
 

 

 

I am also very excited for that!! Love me a K5054.

In development now and expected to be released during the 2nd quarter of 2025.

Looks OK.  Perhaps they'll work their way through all the variants including a Griffon powered Mk.XIV.

Dare we hope for a Seafire or three as well, an up-to-date Mk 47 would be great!  To say nothing of a III, XV or XVII.

This.

 

Sadly I can't see Kotare venturing down that route though. 

Somehow it doesn't seem to fit with their mission but we can live in hope.

I suspect that the most likely route to a Seafire FR-47 will come from Laminar Flow Designs or similar but I hope to be proved wrong.

I LOVE the 47!

At the rate they release kits, if that happens, it will be sometime in the 2030's.  Somehow it doesn't seem like the best business plan to have 90% of your product line be nothing but various Spitfire variants, especially since the later versions never seemed to attract as much attention as the "classic" Mk I - IX's did.

Flyco when some Sub Lt junior pilot has just pranged one on his nice clean flight deck?

Yeah, I like Thunderbolts, too!

In all seriousness, I think Kotare could do a lot worse than offer a P.47.
