Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 12, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 12, 2023 My LHC has one on the shelf for $120.00, less than the price of the average 1/32 kit. Yes, No, or maybe? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 So far, there are two WIP's out there, Ernie. Best way to evaluate a kit I guess. I never build a Spitfire and have only 1/48 Eduards in stash and may help myself to one of these. That counts as a maybe with a strong 'yes' bias.

BlrwestSiR Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I think it's worth it at that price. It's similar here in Canada. The reason I haven't picked up one yet is the scale. I don't have anything else in that that scale so it'll stick out. I have thought that if I get one, I'd do it opened up and highlighting the internal detail. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Absolutely worth it, probably the best 1/24 scale kit period. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking that my eyesight WILL get worse, eventually. Plys, most 1/32 kits are a bunch more expensive than that Spitfire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I give in?....Yes, probably! My decreasing eye sight and the frequency that I drop things makes large scale a positive boon! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James H Posted May 22, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 22, 2023 Yes. Absolutely. Not moulded in that shitty, soft and soapy plastic any more. The sprues don't even look like typical Airfix ones and the detail is outstanding. I believe they are now moulded in the UK and not that crappy place they were using in India. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrafstman Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Most definitely yes! Check out Nigels build on YouTube, I know he can get a little long winded, but he covers all the quirks in the kit. Ron G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
