Representing a significant advancement in aviation technology compared to the biplane fighters which were still in widespread service during the mid 1930s, the Spitfire would go on to see service throughout the Second World War, undergoing constant development to keep it at the forefront of fighter design. Introduced as something of an interim design, the Mk.V would go on to be the most heavily produced variant of Spitfire and featured the more powerful Merlin 45 engine and highly advanced universal wing, which allowed different armament options to be fitted to the fighter with relative ease. To further extend the pure enjoyment Airfix can bring to so many, these new simpler to build-and-paint Starter Sets are perfect for any beginner. This fantastic new model comes not only come with a more child-friendly build, but also a brilliant bespoke 'shadow-effect' stand to mount them on. Complete with painting guides, water-based acrylic paint, adhesive and a brush, this kit is a great start to anyone's model building career! BAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc.

I would have given it five stars except two of the paint colors were dry. We were able to rehydrate both with warm water enough to use with some lumps.

The model is easy build, however, that doesn't mean you will not get a very good reproduction of the spitfire mark v. Parts fit well together requiring minimum sanding and Decals are pretty good too.

Unfortunately 2 of the 4 paint pots (light grey and the black) were totally dried up! Anyway, I like it so much! Planning to get more of it.
