Thanks for the great review Magnus- very good to hear that all the pretty surface detail is correct!
A pity about the canopy in your boxing, and as you say, there is not an easily available replacement without buying the big Falcon set. I thought the overall score a little harsh, but then again these are not cheap, being at least 150% of the cost of the Tamiya Mk.I, and 300% the cost of the Airfix. I take it that you don't approve of the Tamiya Mk.I? I am very happy that another series of Spitfire kits is available, and it does seem to be the most accurate. This really is the year of the Spitfire!
