Thanks for the review, Andy. The reasonable price of the Revell kits makes upgrades for them more palatable.

It's unlikely that any Spitfire II was fitted with a metal seat, since the use of the plastic seat was planned exclusively for Castle Bromwich, and only changed when Supermarine's factory was destroyed; however the dimensions would remain the same so it's simply a case of painting it red instead of black (probably) or green (possibly.)

Thanks Bill, my Revell Spitfire has now got so much A.M going in it that I will be surprised if I have to use the base kit .
Thanks for clearing that up Edgar, I thought the Mk.II only had plastic seats, but I wasn't sure.
Andy :-)
