Work In Progress Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 1/18, not a chance of getting anything off the shelf. 1/24, there's a complete Airfix 1a kit here at the extremely reasonable price of £24.95, jump in before one of us buys it (not me, already got two in the roof) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Airfix-1-24-Supermarine-Spitfire-Mk-1a/264293957490?hash=item3d8925bf72:g:D0sAAOSwDQ1cvcAE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Airfix nose will not help a lot if you go for a Mk.IX or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 As there are no 1/24 kits of two-stage Merlin or Griffon Spitfires there doesn't seem to be a lot of point agonising over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V, issued with the Trumpeter kit in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Not at bargain-basement prices though, and I get the sense the original poster wants something cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 And a conversion set for Mk.IX (though whether it meets the "reasonably priced" part I don't know). In 1/18 there was the 21st Century Toys or whatever similar "display model". Mine's in queue for restoration after a prang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) When did you last see one of those for sale, though? There was also once upon a time the HpH Seafire in 1/18th, but these things are vanishingly rare and valuable: you can't just go out and buy them either in physical life or online Edited April 24, 2019 by Work In Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebay sold one in December for a bid of £122! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Exactly. Not of interest to the original questioner, who specified "reasonably priced" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Belbin Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Slightly off topic but it was such a shame the Vintage Fighter Series Mk XIV didn’t come to fruition . . . Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnAndersen Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 You might want to try to find an R/C model. There was a guy at Hyperscale that built a 1/18 spitfire with insane details. I believe he based it on a R/C foam model. HTH Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA80A2AR Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 thanks. i'm not bothed about the mark or engine type. i have seen them realy cheep airfix 1/24 spits and last night i hit upon a idea. use spares for RC planes. e.g for the topflite 1/7 spit. (v nice) i don't want the whole kit so its not a waste of a decent model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
