As a prelude to what should be one of their excellent video Show Reports, HLJ have released some pics and details of Tamiya''s forthcoming Spitfire Mk. IX.

Hi Jim

Maybe there's just something about Spitfires! I'm sure Mal would agree! I remember I was in Hannants years ago the day Airfix released their 1:48 Spitfire Mk22/24 and Seafire 47. The staff were literally selling them straight from the packing cases as fast as they could open them - there wasn't even time to stick price tags on the kits and put them on the shelves!

All the best

Rowan
