Hi there

Some nice detail in the cockpit for this scale - but the spinner and canopy look very strange in these shots.

All the best

Always great to see a new Spitfire kit from Airfix and in 1/72 as well, to boot!

But I have to agree with Rowan, something looks off in the cockpit canopy and the spinner...

And let's hope it's better than their latest 1/72 Hurricane effort as that had its own share of oddities.
