That looks good, interesting parts breakdown!

I do hope though, that they've deliberately 'enhanced' the carrier film on the decals to allow them to show up, & that they won't be already yellowed coming out the box!!

Nice looking Spit.!

Looks good, should be easier to build than the old MPM kit. But likely to cost you around $50.

So $50 is about right then once you have added postage...... wonder how many years of retirement I must plan for or just keep buying all these $50 kits LOL.

If you think that's bad, try taking up indy car modeling.......... $100-150 a shot.

Ps,
If you are in the us pacific coast models carries Attack squadron kits, might cut the postage down some.

Freightdog (I think it was them) did at least a couple of sheets of PR XI markings, and also a conversion for the Airfix PR XIX. Since I have the decals and a couple of the conversion sets, those will have to suffice for me. These Attack Squadron kits look quite nice, but too pricy for me.

Well I went and ordered mine, a profi pack plus standard box and the acrylic paints, all told with postage to the USA for $69...... a good deal in my books. I also have various third party decals for the XI left over from my MPM build project so have lots of schemes to choose from. Looking forward to these.

I didn't know that. Pacific Coast is about an hour south of me, so they come to some of the local model shows. They seem to focus on 1/32 kits so I don't pay much attention to them. I'll have to see what they have in our scale, thanks.
