JohnT Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I was browsing and saw this listed on Cybermodeller release table thus :- Revell AG Spitfire Mk.Ixc (conversion from Spitfire II) 323927 Mar-17 Anyone know anything? Seems an odd thing to do given the excellent Tamiya IX and the somewhat less than complimentary observations on the Mk 11 they are taking it from. I suppose it will have the merit of being cheap. And before anyone else says it a Tamiya sale is not cash for Revell. Apologies if this is old news - I just learned yesterday that Mafeking was relieved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 On the bright side, a Mk.IXc will require a new fuselage and new wings so Revell has the opportunity to correct the most egregious fault of the Mk.II. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 price difference is really a main factor, although tamiya spit can be found cheaper than rrp, it is still 3 times more that the revell price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin ritchie Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I applaud Revell for Producing a IX , but I'd have been a LOT happier if they'd simply made the changes necessary to produce a VC.. RAAF/Malta spits without the palaver of replacing wings.. Still at least it means I have a use for some of the "Aces of the Empire" markings without going bankrupt using Tamiya kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Lingener Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi guys, as usual: I will post pictures of the testshots as soon as it arrives here. I can´t coment on wings/fuselage - I simply have to see (and show you of course) what will be in the box. So be patient and wait until I can post any pictures of the "new" (e.g. converted) Mk. IX kit. Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim T Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 OK, weathering is a matter of personal choice, but that is completely OTT to my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janneman36 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It does look like a MK IX to my eyes ...nomatter the finish or weathering.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 For a demo model, they should be finished clean, no weathering... just a nice straight paint job to show it off. When will they learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I`m building on over in WIP and have got to the painting stages,.....seems OK to me and looks like a Mk.IX. The rear seat armour is missing and the seat is a little basic, but apart from that everything is there in the box, not bad for £30 or under. The serface detail is lovely too.
