Thanks for the news Tim
This looks like it'll be awesome! I'm really looking forward to Eduard's take on early Spits! As Mal always says - "You can't have too many Spitfires!".
All the best

Hello Tim!
Thanks Much for the "heads up"! I'm for THIS ONE! It'll be interesting to compare this new EDUARD Spitfire M.I (early) to TAMIYA's release of their kit #61119 Spit Mk.I, of which I have 2. Hoping that this new EDUARD Spitfire will compare favorably with TAMIYA's or maybe even surpass it in quality, but I can't see how. The wheels are already turning in my head as to the different color and markings schemes possible...
VR, Dennis

Hi there
I can already see how it might; apart from the options for the early canopy, propeller and exhausts, there's the surface finish. Tamiya's Spit is lovely, but it has a very simplified external finish. Having been privileged to help maintain the exhibits at the RAF Museum, one thing you really notice when cleaning them is the rivets!
All the best
