Yes, the wing shape, fuselage belly kink etc... Let's consider for a moment the possibility your eyes are not deceiving you...
On the other hand I just got their Fairey Fulmar, and I did like it...

Once again you are comparing pictures taken at different angles to the subject as if it means something.

Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself Gaston?
You promised to educate us about how flawed the Tamiya Mk.IX Spitfire kit is, remember?

According to your photos, the angle of the rudder's trailing edge is all wrong, too; did your eyes deceive you, there, as well? No, of course not, you just omitted to mention it.

Well, that's the kiss of death, if I ever saw one.....

Oh dear it looks like a Mustang.
I can't believe our resident rivet counter is slamming this kit based on a single photo of the parts.
Gaston why do you persist with doing this to every kit.
