Are the Pegasus Mk.22/24 kits any good? What about the AZ Model Mk.21 kit? Xtrakit's Mk.22?

The Pegasus kit is very limited-run and needs a generous helping of "some modelling skills required". Here's a review. I like Pegasus kits. They have very good shapes, and stretch your modelling skills.

Here's a look into the box of the AZ model -21.

Brett Green from Hyperscale looks at Xtrakit's Spitfire 22. Even though I'm a 1/48 girl when it comes to fighters, I have to admit that this one tempts me

Thanks for the reply. Based on those reviews, all of them look pretty good for short run kits!

And just to make your day, Airfix has just announced a new-tool Spitfire 22 (among other nice goodies).

Well that's problematic in a good way!
