Very detailed, coloured assembly handbook. Definitely worth the price. Review: Blast from the past! - I have started building model kits again over last year and a half. Thus far they have been larger Revell,AMT, Polar light models. So I have now developed some experience..I had to get Revell kits for a craft event. The classic spitfire was one I did as a teenager, so was nice to go back to this. For the money it is good value, given that it comes with glue, paint in 3 colours- green, grey-blue and medium grey. When assembled the whole thing will sit in Palm of your hand. As minimum you will need additional black, metallic grey for metallic components, and yellow. I would suggest Tamyia. You may want to use a Tamyia fine grey primer on main body and wing components. There is a need to use fine cutters, tweezers, decal fix solution. I use bluetac to mount some components for painting. You can paint some on the sprue, but then you will need to touch up. The kits have some option for landing gear up or down as well as different clear components for cockpit..however the fit and need to remove excess flashing made it fiddly. Having spent time painting interior cockpit,console and seat,adding decals etc. It ended up being completely concealed! Somewhat of a waste of time unless you leave the canopy off completely. Plus the canopy came in 3 tiny pieces which was very fiddly to fit. Why they couldn't do them in 2 piece, I don't know. Unfortunately, the glue ended up melting the plastic a bit, and this resulted in some paint run. This is very similar to my childhood experiences with smaller scale Airfix and other Revell kits. Something which did not happen with kits from the larger model kits from Revell and polar lights. Paint the top area of wings and fuselage, in the blue grey and the underneath of wings, landing gear in the medium grey supplied. The camouflage was done free hand using the supplied green paint. I suggest you have kind of a plan for the pattern, based loosely on pictures and practice on some paper or card first. This kit has very small components so good eye sight needed and steady dextrous hands. Kind of happy with this for the price and finished build over couple of days. ## Features - Flammable liquid and vapour. - May cause drowsiness or dizziness. - Warning:Contains fragrances that may cause allergies - Warning:Not suitable for children under 8 years.

This is a self-assembly plastic model kit with glue and paint to complete. **Q: Is the paint water based?** A: Yes, the included 'Aqua Color' paint is water-based. It can be thinned with water (up to 4pts paint to 1pt water) and brushes cleaned with water. Additionally, 'Aqua Color Mix' (39621) thinner contains a retarder which extends drying time, which can be useful in obtaining a smoother gloss finish and if the thinned paint is to be sprayed through an airbrush (helps to prevent 'tip dry'). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely worth the price! *by M***O on 19 November 2019* Very good quality, new style moulding technology was used, no flash, no mistakes.
