Build Log: Airfix 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IA (Pt.1)


Brand: Airfix
Scale: 1/72
Kit No: A01071B
Tooling Date: 2010
Completed: 2023
Engraved Panel Lines: Yes

I got this kit just this year as a Father's Day gift from my beautiful daughters. It's a realtively new tool (for us old timers) and is commensurate with Airfix's newer offerings, which is a good thing. While I don't strive for historical accuracy I cannot say how "accurate" it is. But authenticity is important to me and there is enough detail, and the shape and silhouette easily identify it as a Spitfire. 

Additionally, the instructions are quite simple and easy to read, with the painting and decal instructions provided on the rear of the box. 



My plan is to stick with my usual M.O. and build this out of the box. This looks like a fun kit to build!
