1) It's quite large.

2) Their test pilot is very good (although I thought he came a bit near to that big tree once)

3) It was a great take off.

4) It says it is easy to fly on the video.

4) I'm not sure it's the correct style of roundel under the wing

Thanks OB1 , should the lower ring roundels have a white circle seperating red and blue ?

RD2D- I have just sold my Camouflage and Markings book on the Spitfire but I still have the same book on the Hurricane which I assume would have similar markings.
Consulting that book shows that up to May 1942 a Type A roundel was used which had wide rings of blue and white and a red centre. After that date a type C or C1 was used which has a small white ring. I am sure a google search would reveal the actual dimensions and ratios. So it depends what mark of Spitfire they have modelled and when it would have been in service.
