## Description

Product Description When Winston Churchill spoke of the few that gave so much, he was referring to the R.A.F. pilots in their Spitfires. Originally a seaplane, the Spitfire won a competition to become the R.A.F.'s number one fighter. It proved to be more than a match for the best that Germany could muster. Its kill ratio was 10 to 1 in the skies over England. Features: Detailed cockpit area, landing gear, waterslide decals. From the Manufacturer The Supermarine Spitfire was the British Royal Air Force's premiere fighter during most of WWII and, with the Hawker Hurricane, formed the backbone of defense against the German Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain.

Review: A Very Nice Model of the Spitfire - I recently purchased this model of the RAF Spitfire. I found it to be a very nice model. The parts are accurate and well-made, and I had a lot of fun putting it together. If you are a fan of model airplanes or the RAF Spitfire, I recommend this model.
Review: Patently exciting. - Although I hate working with models smaller than 1/32 scale, I am starting to enjoy the challenges associated with detailing smaller scales. It is important to remember one important fact when buying a model kit; the higher the number the smaller the size. 1/32 is bigger than 1/48 and 1/72 is smaller than 1/48. I typically choose the scale for the type of model I build, i.e.: cars & trucks are 1/6, 1/24, 1/25, 1/32; military are either 1/35 or 1/48; ships are usually 1/350. Also the scale of the models reflects the actual size of you subject matter: cars, trucks, tanks, aircraft carriers. The smallest scales are best when building dioramas and model railroading.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the landing gear fold up or do you have to chose between flight mod or landing mod**
A: Hello, the gear does not foldup. You can choose up or down.

**Q: Is it a die cast model?**
A: This is a plastic kit, not die-cast.

**Q: does the price include malaysian customs duty?**
A: Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.

No, the price does not include Malaysian customs duty.

Regards,
Sam

**Q: how many inches is the scale 1:48 ?**
A: Debbie, 1:48 scale is 1/4 inch equals one foot. The Spitfire airplane was just under 30 feet in length (29 feet and 11 inches to be exact). So a 1:48 scale model of a plane 30 feet in length is 7 1/2 inches long.  I have gotten several of these models for my ten year old grandson. He seems to like them. Their not big, but I would say the right size for a kid to play with.  -Glenn

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for beginners or trying out more advanced procedures.
*by J***Y on November 22, 2015*

This is no museum quality model. It has only 34 parts and, as others have stated, it has flaws which, depending on luck of the draw, could be major or minor. It's a great starting kit and a great opportunity for a parent/child project. Others have stated best for 10 yrs and up but I don't see why a bright younger child couldn't handle it with some help along the way. These are great learning opportunities too. Beginning experience in assembly, reading prints and following instruction and learning something about history along the way too. Having practically no internal detail keeps it simple and much can be done to cure ill fitting parts with some putty. For a child, simple painting will have them soon "vroommmmming" around the room or patience and care can render this into a rather remarkable looking little model. Someone pointed out that the wheel wells are mere holes. If you're going to hang the plane from the ceiling, put the wheels up. If standing on it's gear on the shelf, who'll notice? For budding model builders, this is a great experiment. It's simplicity and the 1:48 scale is a handy size to work with. Its low price makes it a fine candidate for trying out more advanced procedures. If all goes well it becomes a thing of pride. If not, hide it under the bed(;^}) and grab another. Either way, you can't go wrong. For myself, I am going to work on a more advanced Spit (an ICM product from Czechoslovakia) while helping my son out on his (this) Revell. Finally, it is fair odds I built this same kit myself 40 some years ago. Despite it's flaws, I give it 4 stars just for it's many possibilities.
