npb748r Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Instructions look really good, I'm not familiar with WNW kits, assume from the comments that these are similar. For me I think I'll wait and see what some of the online builds are like. I really like building the Revell spitfire kits and I'm not sure that this new kit offers me anything more than I can get from a Revell kit (based purely on the instructions so I'm thinking this with caution). I guess like other people I have to juggle my buying decision based on how many more early Mark Spits I need to build and what other kits I want that I could spend the money on. Trouble with only building 1/32 scale, even small aircraft take up room and space is now a premium. Plus I have a load of kits in my stash that I want to build. My only nagging feeling is that I want this company to produce more previously unreleased 1/32 kits and the only way they will do that is if they sell this one so I might buy for that reason alone, providing the price isn't to high. At the price point mentioned above that's a months pocket money for me gone in a single kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palm-tree Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 A great release for Battle of Britain Day-15th September 1940-2022. The kit looks fantastic. I will be holding out for the later X- series spits to build a specific machine. Great to see the team-"WnW" back in the game.

thierry laurent Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 At last an early 1/32 Spit with a correct interior and the first one to give the battery. I should really try to end the painting of my 1969 kit before seeing LSP buried under tons of Spit Mk.I ! I think I I'll not hesitate a microsecond before getting one! For whatever reason my favorite marks are the Mk.I and FR 47. BiggTim and Fanes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 this is just going to be awesome and whoever was "sad" at the price tag, what on earth were you expecting? A tamiya quality (and perhaps more) kit for the price of a Revell kit?? MikeC, Tolga ULGUR and Jeff T 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kits from this scale cannot be displayed wing tip to wing tip. I have 4 Ju-88 kits so I know LOL. npb748r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
