Yeah, I cancelled my back-order with Hannants and hopped across to Jadlam myself.

 

With a £2 ‘J-points’ voucher to use, I got it for £96.

Did the same when I read this.  Now Hannants have cottoned on and lowered their price to just under £99.

 

Anybody got any idea when we will acturally have the kits in our hands (or there-abouts)?

£92 delivered with Modelkitsforless Facebook group. Have a couple on pre order with.

Hot off the press....next releases will both be Spitfires - an Mk.I (Early) and a Mk.Va.

That's fair enough. But where has he said it? I don't do FB if it was on that bloomin' place

[vince14]

He said it to me, today. But no need to just take my word for it...

… Very nice work and the stash will make room for at least 1 or 2. I was kind of hoping for a V.b though!!

That's brilliant news, thanks for posting!

[geedubelyer]

@vince14, thanks for posting the images. From what you saw, what are your impressions of the kit? 

Have Kotare created any surface texture in the way WNW did with the Lanc?

I'm no expert on the spit and I don't want to sound negative, my only experience if the revell spit. Are the panel on the aft fuselage that different in terms of depth variation ? I'm not saying this to knock the model I'm asking out of pure interest. It could be the pictures but I was surprised at how visually different the panel depths are ?

As has been pointed out elsewhere, what’s on display are test shots which by their very nature are rough and not the finished article. This needs to be borne in mind at this stage.

So the actual kit will not resemble 1970s vintage Airfix kit?

Probably not!
