A55001 Small Beginners Gift Set Supermarine Spitfire MkVc

The model is easy build, however, that doesn't mean you will not get a very good reproduction of the spitfire mark v. Parts fit well together requiring minimum sanding and Decals are pretty good too.

Great starter model kit for my 11 year old, but was very disappointed when it came to painting the model as the paints were all dried up! Unable to return as he had already built the model 😔

The colors are all came in solid shape

Qualidade qb para iniciar neste mundo do modelismo.

Unfortunately 2 of the 4 paint pots (light grey and the black) were totally dried up! Anyway, I like it so much! Planning to get more of it.

Ha sido la primera "maqueta" que he montado y, aunque es un kit con ciertas limitaciones, creo que el resultado es bastante bueno y el proceso es divertido. Tiene ciertos problemas, una pintura no llego en un estado bueno i la antena del caza es muy fina y, cómo soy un novato, la rompí, cosa que creo que le puede pasar a más de uno. Honestamente, creo que por lo que pagas está de sobras, si estas empezando no creo que necesites 8 pinturas distintas para que quede "bien" ni un modelo con muchas piezas que se vuelva demasiado complejo.

Great starter kit for my 9yo grandson who loves planes. Was within his capability.

I like that it had nearly everything included -- all that is required, in addition, are small cutters, robust scissors, or a razor blade to remove the pieces from the sprue, and a nail file or bit of sandpaper to smooth some of the edges of the model. This is a serious positive, as it allows someone to put a model together without an investment in paints, and then having random paint pots that don't go to anything, and then buying more models to use the paints, but then buying more paints to complete those models, on and on, and over again. I was free of this madness for over twenty years, and then, perhaps through nostalgia in thinking of simple times, I bought this kit. I have to knock off one star as some of the acrylic paints were dried and it is a terrible pain to bring them back. It can be done with drops of water and a relatively solid implement, such as a chopstick, and then work it until smooth. I decided to use Gordon's gin, rather than water, thinking that it might react better. I'm not sure if it helped the paint, but it certainly helped my mood during the ordeal.
