When I got my two Spitfire models when they first came out, I had no idea how much they would sell for now. Why doesn't 21st Century reissue the Spitfire model? It is one of their best, and they appear to still be popular.

something wrong

Post by supersonicfifi » Mon May 12, 2008 3:31 pm

for me there is something wrong with this scheme as it is an early spitfire wich was used mainly as a trainer in 44 ! maybe i am wrong but i think this model depict much better a " Battle of britain " defender than a late mark one ! the issue here is that we are ready for a mk IX or later griffon powered model !
1/18 mirage 2000 & RAFALE should i say more ?

I think your spot on
If it was a Spitfire Ix it would have cannons & four blade prop

Does not this Spitfire have incorrect d-day markings also????
Pictures of actual Spits show stripes opposite of what 21st painted them.
