John1 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 According to my LHS, this kit isn’t going to be available in the future. He’s saving his last one for me. Take it FWIW but if anyone has this on your “to-build” list, you may want to pick one up sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmmyeah but, I seem to recall one or two obscure pictures with the kind of blisters in the kit. But, yeah, they are basically wrong for mainstream spittyfirees. I think.

Plenty of them available in the UK, and for quite reasonable prices. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-1-32-scale-WW2-British-RAF-SPITFIRE-MK-1XC/303074182253?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225113%26meid%3De7773f820bc6462f89fb6960e6fccd1a%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D303074182253%26itm%3D303074182253%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DTamiya&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Aae3f3176-34a4-11eb-947e-ced7cf07dbc2|parentrq%3A23b3adcc1760a69fe1a309d3ffdf3da4|iid%3A1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
