Thanks for posting. From what I can see from the Czech article this kit comes with an all new fuselage so there is no need to extensively modify the Mk V fuselage in order to build in the arrestor hook. Since the Spitfire Mk V spare fuselage is still included in the kit you nearly get a "bonus aircraft" from KP if you buy one of their Mk Vc that includes a B-Wing and a C-Wing section together with their new Seafire.
