I don't have anything in particular about them I like, but I seem to be accumulating a collection for some reason Del. I have 2 more on the way from the Airfix black Friday sale. I know one is going to be a 2 blade 19 Sqn machine. Not sure about the other. Might make an early PR or something |

Oh Spitfires! I don't particularly like them either. But seem to be getting quite a collection of them! |

I will say the Airfix Spitfire is a lovely kit to build. Cockpit can be a bit fiddly tho. And the wing fold on the Seafires, especially the 47, is a terrible joint to glue. If I were to build either again, I would have the wings down. |
