The wooksta V2.0 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) If you will insist on buying every single Spitfire kit made. Fair point but... Just look at all the temptation! Not fair, I tell you! I've started one of mine, although it'll be a whiffed clipped fighter bomber in Italy. So far it's a bit... fiddly. Wings go together fine once the rear locator pins are removed. Cockpit interior is a tad snug and the fuselage won't close unless the instrument panel is sanded down along the outside. Sounds like an Airfix Spitfire! I also dislike the moulded on outer gun patches, plus the post war three spoke hub wheels (admittedly not used in this kit) are too small, being the same diameter as the normal wheels. I know, minor niggles and for the sheer volume of spares, well worth it. Edited June 30, 2016 by The wooksta V2.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominikS Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 @Phantom Not only WE is going to be released next year. More interesting is the lack of Mk.VIII ProfiPack. But yes, next few years are going to be very costly for my wallet. This year to limiteds - RC and Mk.XVI. @Wooksta As far as I remember FW 190 has the same problem with the cockpit. I'll check it today...mine are going to come in a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattheCat Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Their first iteration (IXc late) includes the cigar drop tank, so everything in the box I need to make a machine from 350 squadron (Belgian) in the summer of 44. Still too shy to begin the Tamiya 1:32 one my wife offered me. Must have. Edited July 17, 2016 by PattheCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy guy you are faster than I am ..I suppose you have preordered it some times ago ? I just ordered mine a few minutes ago for a mere 51 euros the shop offered the post charges as I ordered another boxing for a friend ... This year is not a good year for my wallet neither for my stash (tough I managed to sell some kits ..)

Procopius Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 So hopefully 11 & 12 (along with the original kit) will give me all I need rather than the Royal Class I'm a tiny bit annoyed there's not a lowback XVI in the Royal Edition, but then I realized I still got four Mk IXs and got all weak in the knees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Patrice, I saw it on ebay a few nights back and hit the "Buy it Now" button. Arrived a few days later. Dave, you may want to get it anyway! Okay, 50 notes seems a tad expensive, but when you start looking at the package, it's pretty good value: 4 x Profipack kits @ £13.99ea = £55.96 4 x Brassin wheel sets @ £4.50ea = £18.00 New decal sheet w. FOURTEEN options - £10 seems about right, given the average price of a good decal sheet these days Beer Glass ? Say a fiver and another quid for the coaster. £6.00 Knock off a few quid for the separate decal sheets from the Profipack kits - £12.00 Roughly £80 if bought separately. I'd call it a bargain at £50. No doubt some canny shopping online and then the inevitable sales next year could see them cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Oh, it's exceptionally good value, (MJW were doing it for £49 at Scale Scotland today) but for what I want to do, I can live with out the Brassin, the beer glass etc, especially as the decal options I want to do aren't in the kits PS if anyone doesn't need the Clostermann/602 options from the Late IXc kit, I'll gladly take them off your hands in return for postage costs as I'll be able to use them on my early mk IXs and mk XVIs....! (and possibly mk21s and 22s as well) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 You can have mine, Dave. PM me with your address and I'll try to get them in the post this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and possibly mk21s and 22s as well) :-) I can't understand why no one bought one at the show today! Granted, I think they could have done a few more interesting schemes in the set but we sold a huge load of the 1/48 Royal Class Spits when they were new, so I was sort of expecting something similar with the 1/72 set. It proves to us that it's very tricky to predict what people will buy. We also had some interest in the Royal Class but none on the new Eduard Fw190F-8 but we sold most of them at the show! We've just got to hope for some steady Royal Class sales over the next week or two, otherwise we'll have a load of shelf warmers! Anyway, if I had known you could have had the decals from my Profipack at the show, as I'm building one of the other options. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'll likely be buying one from you next weekend, Mike, I just have to soften up Mrs P a bit first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hope they do sell in the longer term Mike, maybe to help out I might have to cave in my resistance to the profipack edition.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'll be buying more in the long term due to financial difficulties caused by a triple whammy of Eduard Spitfire IXs, Home Bargains almost giving away Airfix kits and now the Sword XIVs! I'm rather enamored of the beer glass - apparently there's six to collect. Eduard, you've just issued me a challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_c67 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I'll be honest Mike, the reason I haven't got one is mainly down to finances, been a heavy couple of months in that respect. Hopefully things will settle down soon and I can get a set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many sets of Spitfires do you have to buy to get all six beer glasses, or are you going to start a swap forum here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
