I'd like to buy two kits, the Spitfire and the Messerschmitt which fought during the battle of Britain, which version should I buy? Spiffire MK Vb or Mk IX, Messerscmitt BF 109 E-3 "Emil"... And from wich brand? Hasegawa or Tamiya?

Any help will be greatly appreciated because after nearly 20 years without doing any plastic model, now that I pretend to rediscover this hobby I'm really shocked to discover so many new brands: ICM, Eduard, Academy... (in my time it was just: Matchbox, Airfix, Revell and Tamiya!) and so many web pages and sites to buy (by the way which is the best place to buy through internet?)

Thanks in advance, it has been a great pleasure to get to know you and your wonderful job!

Regards,

Lluís
