They are great to build. This one had a piece that was wrong in it. But we where able to overcome it using a well known brand of locking bricks from Denmark. Overall pretty good for children. He wants a Lancaster next, hopefully Airfix expand on these quick builds

5.0 out of 5 stars Iconic and stunning model.

For something so easy to make, it is so detailed and realistic, representing the great fighter of the RAF. It makes a great gift and a great place to start for younger modellers. A reasonable price too, cannot argue with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Need Glue

M.B.P. · 26 November 2024

Got all but 2 of these airplanes and they are really good when built, but beware you will need to use glue to stop some bits falling off every time you pick them up.Other then that I am very happy with all the models I have got.

Great models to click together.And good fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Model

M.N.W. · 18 July 2024

Bought this as I wanted to get back into building aircraft construction kits again and wanted to see if I still can. For the money this is a good reintroduction to modelling. Although a snap together kit, some of the parts needed a bit of teasing to fit properly. So that made it a bit of a challenge for a wet Sunday afternoon. The moving parts on the kit move freely enough. The decals look adequate. When finished the model looks quite good, especially for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars An attractive model of an iconic aircrft

D. · 5 May 2015

This is a push-fit model based on the Lego principle. It is cunningly designed in coloured plastic pieces which when assembled give a convincing camouflage finish without any painting. The propeller does tend to fall off as it is just a push-fit in its bearing. This necessitates removal of the engine cowling and reinsertion of the propeller and bearing. There is a risk that the bearing could easily be lost as it is a very small item. I cured this problem by putting a very small dab of glue on the bearing before attaching the propeller (the propeller still rotates freely). There are no guns or gun ports on the model although the box shows a Spitfire with all guns blazing. There are however wheels in the retracted position. It would have been a nice touch to have included a pilot to go in the cockpit. My 5 year old grandson and I assembled the kit in about an hour. He identified each piece and where it should go. I pressed the pieces together as some finger strength is needed to ensure a robust assembly. I stuck the decals on, as they are a bit tricky to get in the right position. There are about 36 parts to assemble in a similar number of steps. The pictorial instructions are generally clear, though the colour printing has a slightly muddy appearance for some reason. This is an attractive model of a beautiful, iconic aircraft at a reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality

Impressed with the quality of the moulded parts of these kits. They go together easily, clicking in place similar to Lego. It is a decent size as well. No painting required and the finished item looks good. Hope airfix will increase the range of kits in this series. Worth the money.

Super für Kinder

Way beyond the expected

I'm impressed with this toy. It is built like a Lego but the result is near perfect. It's big, resistent, light and super cool. Had a fight with my 4 year old son because I can't stop playing with it.

Fiel y jugable

C.A. · 15 May 2020

Estupendo. Replica muy fiel, no es frágil así que sí es adecuado para niños. Con 5 años necesitarán ayuda de un adulto para montarlo pero participan activamente. Como consejo: cada vez que montes una pieza aprietala al máximo. El resultado final es muy bueno

プラモデルと言うよりは3Dパズルトイ。とは言えそこはエアフィックス

飛. · 4 January 2024

カテゴリからいえばプラモデルと言うよりも3Dパズル(トイ)に分類されるだろう。スナップキットだがガンプラとは異なり組立後も再度バラしてまた組立可能である。スケールはノンスケール(箱スケール)ということになっているがScalemateの記載では1/72、しかし実寸を計ったところ1/60ちょうどであった。当初の目的は素組・無塗装(アルコールマーカーは可)限定の製作会で紹介する為だったが組立後も巡航モードとVTOLモード両再現が可能な35Bのキットはこれが唯一でもある為折角だから(キット本来の意図はぶち壊すが)ちょい足しディティールアップで飛行機モデルとしてのポテンシャルを確認してみたコクピットインテリアにはシートバックと計器盤フードを追加、ストックパーツからパイロットを搭乗させこのキットで唯一残念と感じたカノピをキットパーツを芯にヒートプレスで作り直しカノピブレイカーを内側から取り付けVTOL用リフトファン及び排気口ランプ裏側は実機では内部整流の為のライナーがあるがキットは内側もペラだったのでプラ板とスチレンボードでライナーを追加エンジンノズルにジャンクパーツから戦車の転輪を用いたバーナーコア風ディティールを追加タイアをジャンクパーツから径のあう物に付け替え雰囲気を向上塗装は成形色のままでも悪くはないがRAMコーティングとの色差を出す為結局全面塗装、そこに自作した海上自衛隊仕様デカールを貼ってIFの海上自衛隊・護衛艦かが搭載機として完成させたトイとはいえ発売元は老舗航空機キットメーカーのエアフィックスである。ちょっとの追加工作で見違えるほど雰囲気は変わった(というか、このキットと同社1/72キットは恐らくCADデータを共有している。悪い筈がない)なお、エアフィックスのキットは昔から可動・差し替え・選択ギミックは豊富に盛り込まれる事が多いが可動ギミックは受け座周りの作りが少々雑なのも昔からの伝統である。このキットも胴体上面のリフトファン用ランプや水平安定板の嵌め込みヒンジが露骨に目立つ(まぁロートダインの貨物ドアヒンジよりはマシだけど)上強度もいまひとつなので下面よりも上面のギミック部を差し替えにして欲しかったな、と
