PRODUCT DESCRIPTION When Winston Churchill spoke of the few that gave so much, he was referring to the R.A.F. pilots in their Spitfires. Originally a seaplane, the Spitfire won a competition to become the R.A.F.'s number one fighter. It proved to be more than a match for the best that Germany could muster. Its kill ratio was 10 to 1 in the skies over England. Features: Detailed cockpit area, landing gear, waterslide decals. This Revell model kit #85-5239 is skill level 4 and recommended for ages 12 and up. The 1:48 scale car consists of 34-pieces and comes with detailed assembly instructions. Paint and glue not included. FROM THE MANUFACTURER The Supermarine Spitfire was the British Royal Air Force's premiere fighter during most of WWII and, with the Hawker Hurricane, formed the backbone of defense against the German Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain.

Great for beginners or trying out more advanced procedures.
This is no museum quality model. It has only 34 parts and, as others have stated, it has flaws which, depending on luck of the draw, could be major or minor. It's a great starting kit and a great opportunity for a parent/child project. Others have stated best for 10 yrs and up but I don't see why a bright younger child couldn't handle it with some help along the way. These are great learning opportunities too. Beginning experience in assembly, reading prints and following instruction and learning something about history along the way too. Having practically no internal detail keeps it simple and much can be done to cure ill fitting parts with some putty. For a child, simple painting will have them soon "vroommmmming" around the room or patience and care can render this into a rather remarkable looking little model. Someone pointed out that the wheel wells are mere holes. If you're going to hang the plane from the ceiling, put the wheels up. If standing on it's gear on the shelf, who'll notice? For budding model builders, this is a great experiment. It's simplicity and the 1:48 scale is a handy size to work with. Its low price makes it a fine candidate for trying out more advanced procedures. If all goes well it becomes a thing of pride. If not, hide it under the bed(;^}) and grab another. Either way, you can't go wrong. For myself, I am going to work on a more advanced Spit (an ICM product from Czechoslovakia) while helping my son out on his (this) Revell. Finally, it is fair odds I built this same kit myself 40 some years ago. Despite it's flaws, I give it 4 stars just for it's many possibilities.

Not Impressed. Came with no outer box
Arrived with no outer box. Wing halves don’t go together right, are very thin, and they don’t really fit the fuselage - so you have to do a lot of modding and cutting and filling. In fact, nothing really fit well - period. This makes a model with only a few pieces a real challenge unless your a serious modeler. The details are poorly defined so forget doing any dry brush/shading and the “Made in China” stamp on the wing is really grim... Get the sanding tools out again. The pre molded antenna is strong - which is good because you’ll inevitably hit and rest on it unintentionally as you assemble this thing. The decals are very thick and on large pieces so they are very visibly not paint. And I have no idea why there’s no pilot. Other than all that…

When finished, it looks like the real thing.
The model is rather small but when finished it looks good. Be careful not to put parts near heat because they can melt rather quickly. I have noticed that the price of plastic and/or wood models has increased dramatically. I used outdoor enamel in little jars which you can get at Michaels. The jars cost about $1.00 each. It is less messy to use and easy to clean up.

Love
This was a gift to an 11 year old boy, who has found a new fascination with airplanes of all type and he loved building and painting it.

Only issue is the so called stickers are just thick paper so it makes it less realistic.

Patently exciting.
Although I hate working with models smaller than 1/32 scale, I am starting to enjoy the challenges associated with detailing smaller scales. It is important to remember one important fact when buying a model kit; the higher the number the smaller the size. 1/32 is bigger than 1/48 and 1/72 is smaller than 1/48. I typically choose the scale for the type of model I build, i.e.: cars & trucks are 1/6, 1/24, 1/25, 1/32; military are either 1/35 or 1/48; ships are usually 1/350. Also the scale of the models reflects the actual size of you subject matter: cars, trucks, tanks, aircraft carriers. The smallest scales are best when building dioramas and model railroading.

Big let down, description not correct.
Cheap quality model kit. No paint or glue included, which means that it isn't the complete kit that it says it is. Even for models, this is as poor quality as it comes. No engine parts or homage to the design of the aircraft, just a boring shell with some random pieces to make it so it isn't a 10 piece set. I am extremely disappointed as I bought this because my grandfather flew one in the war. Amazon lets down once again!
