I haven't made a model of any sort for more than 40 years, so I would never call myself an expert modelmaker. That being said, it's a bit like riding a bike: after the first steps you remember all the steps necessary for construction. And you remember just how enjoyable the whole process is.Level 4 out of 5 seems just about right, because I couldn't have faced level 5 (advanced) in any shape/size/form. And I appreciated the details and the size (1/32 scale) of this model: there are not too many pieces to drive you crazy, but in the end you have something that is not the usual miniature model with the wingspan of 6 inches (16cm).

Big Model, fairly straight forward to build with no real snags. As it's a "generic spitfire" I wasn't too fussed for accuracy, this kit is the mk2 kit with an extra 'Eddie' sprue and different decal sheet.The Upsides:-Lots of detail,-Seated and standing 'Eddie' figures,-Decals for 2 versions (Aces High and Stage version),-Good fit of parts,-Comes with a hairy stick, paints and cement!The Downsides--Nose cone is far too short and stubby,-There is no option for a raised undercarriage- you really need to butcher the wheels and struts to get them to fit in the wheel wells...

Currently two stars due to horrendous lower wing warping and casting issues (photos attached).The rest looks OK and Eddie seems well made.I have contacted revell customer support for a new wing piece (it is warped in more than one plane which would make any attempt to sort it using hot air or water rather difficult). They replied saying the issue was being forwarded to the technical build team within minutes, so fingers crossed I can update this review when I get a none pretzel lower wing!EDIT: super fast, no hassle replacement of the wing. NOW it gets the 5* it deserves!

I found the kit very enjoyable to assemble, I’m by no means a regular model maker but given the lockdown & being a maiden fan I thought I’d give it a go , it does come with paints but you will require additional paints to complete the task . My only complaint is there’s a part which fixes onto the wheel stand which I found considerably weakened the structure so I readjusted & got away with it ,

This looks like a lovely kit to build with decals to make the Iron Maiden "Aces High" spitfire as well as a couple of other versions. As an Iron Maiden fan I am looking forward to building this

An absolutely superb model of the Iron Maiden Aces High Spitfire. The details are excellent it's a good sized model and the two Eddie figures are great. Already started working on it!

It’s a spitfire with Iron Maidens Eddie at the controls, what more can you ask for! Usual good Revell detail.
