Revell 03986 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IIa 1:32 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

Not too complicated but enough detail to look pretty interesting. Nice proportions, looks good in 1/32. Good value for money.

This excellent kit can be had for a bargain price. Not the perfection (or the engine) of the legendary Tamika kit, but at approximately 1/5th of the price this turns into a very good detailed model. No real fit issues, very good decals. I would say this was an ideal model for 12 years plus - has a real presence but not a financial disaster if it’s messed up.

This model is a nice representation of an early Spitfire it has a few inaccuracies that are not obvious unless you are an expert..... that can all be rectified with aftermarket parts. All in all, good value for money

As you will find out after a few moments of internet research, this Revell kit is inaccurate (metal skinned ailerons instead of fabric covered, no engine to build blah, blah, blah). Absolutely, If accuracy and super fine detailing is for you, then don’t buy this model. Go for one of the more expensive and far more accurate kits from the likes of Tamiya.Right, that out of the way, what you have here is a super easy to build uncomplicated model which is instantly recognisable as a Spit. I bought it for my 89 year old Dad, who had very little to keep himself occupied during lockdown and has badly arthritic hands. He’s absolutely loving making this model and is making a pretty decent job of it too. He’s even invested in a cheap airbrush & compressor combo to complete the paint jobFor someone like him with little or no experience, or for a youngster just getting into building models this type of easy build is perfect and the end result will please most of the non-purists.Every product I review is one I have purchased myself.I rely on unbiased reviews when making shopping choices so that’s exactly what you’ll get from me.

Revell is my go to brand for consistency of parts, all well formed on the sprus and decent instructions to follow. I don't think this kit would suite a beginner, but once you have a grip on the basics, it's a great model to progress on to. All parts went together with minimal filling and sanding needed. Model available in numerous outlets, yet this was excellent value on Amazon. Be prepared to spend the same again on paints though.

Item as described good price

Already built, excellent.

Price + Size = Great Value - I made this right out the box, in fact, I made three of them. The quality is really good and you can take this as far as you like or just do as it asks you.Another benefit with this kit is again you do not need a vast selection of paints. At a push, you can five, so it's not going to kill the bank.
