This isn't the largest Spitfire kit - that honour goes to the 1/24 scale models - but this new offering from Tamiya is by far the best - and most expensive - Spitfire model kit available.This model depicts the Spitfire Mk VIII, for me the most beautiful of all Spitfires due to the pointed rudder and retractable tail wheel. The Mk VIII also had additional fuel tankage compared with the Mk IX and served mainly in the Mediterranean, India and the Asia-Pacific.Until now, the best option for a 1/32 Mk VIII was to convert the Hasegawa Mk VB kit with costly resin parts andn lots of surgery, sanding and swearing. There is also a 1/32 Pacific Coast Models Mk IX, but it's not widely available and I haven't seen it.The Hasegawa is old,accurate and looks right but lacks detail compared with this model. Actually, most plastic models in any scale lack detail compared with this kit, it's really that good.The detail and accuracy in this kit are astonishing, the moulding is faultless and there are three decal options for USAAF, RAAF and the RCAF. I haven't yet got to the decal stage but they look good, although the RAAF shark mouth might prove tricky to install over four pieces of cowling.There are about 350 parts, for example, the engine alone has 89 and the cockpit area, over 60. There are clear and photo-etched parts, two pilots and a tiny magnet to hold the engine hood on. There are options for wing tips and gun fairings, too.Instructions are good and there is a nice colour booklet with close-up photos of restored Spitfires to help with finishing your model.Considering the level of detail, the sheer quality of the product and the number of hours you will need to build it, this is good value. Recommended.
