NOT A DEBATE ON WHEATHER THE SPIT 14 SHOULD BE A PERK.

Just type drool if your an RAF type or type dweeb, sissyfire etc if your a LW type.

Probably the most beautifle aircraft ever made.
sigh

edit
but the 20mm should be mounted to outboard not inboard.

I am most of the way through the Acadamy Malcom hood one. Make sure you get the better after market prop and exaust, They really improve the lines of the AC.

Thanks for the suggestion Pongo.  This one is an Academy one as well.  Found it while browsing in some generic drugstore, K-Mart or something, to see if they had something other than the standard old Monogram trucks and jets.

Could you by chance point me towards a place where I could get those after market parts?

Kiitos (thanks in Finnish)

Karnak,

You may want to search either of the two following sites:
 http://www.hobbyweb.com/

and
 http://www.greatmodels.com/

I have ordered from both of them and have had no problems.  I got an aftermarket cockpit, decals and canopy for my 1/48th scale replica of Vraciu's Hellcat.

Hope this helps.

I think that this is the one I used.(I didnt keep the packaging)
The kit needs better wheels too.

Nifty, though I think the Spitfires with the roundy-round wingies are more purdy.

Wow, nice!

[Major Tom]

Hey how bout that, a sawed off spitfire.

What kind of performer is this aircraft, similar to the Dora?  That 5 bladed monstrosity of an engine looks to fit the part.

[JimBear]

Absolutely Gorgeous,

[Nath-BDP]

Nah... this is better.
