Lotnia Spitfire IX UTI

[DazDaMan]

Just out of idle curiosity, I bought one of these from KingKit last week:



Having looked at the box contents, this could be interesting....!

[celt]

Never seen one them before,It will be interesting to see how you progress

[DazDaMan]

I'll post up some kit photos when there's fewer 1/32 Spitfire bits on my desk!

As a hurricane man myself,I am not a lover of spitfires but I am looking forward to seeing this one.

So Splash you are Spifire fan,just as I was getting to like you.

[DazDaMan]

Anyhoo, here are the bits:



The fuselage and wings look to be crude copies of the Matchbox Mk.IX, while the other parts look to be, well.... not brilliant!

That said, it doesn't look to be a difficult build, per se. It will probably prove a bit of a nightmare, though!

Oh, and the decals are goosed. They're so out of register that I need to cross my eyes to get them to look right!

[ShaunW]

Yes, it does look Matchbox-y but cruder. Still, it's an interesting variant and worth a punt to have one in your Spit collection.

[celt]

Even a Hurricane fan is looking forward to this Spitfire getting built.

[ZacYates]

I was going to suggest they started with the Matchbox kit, that's what I did!


I'm excited to see this one! Good luck and keep us posted!

[DazDaMan]

That looks good, Zac. Funnily enough, that was one scheme I thought of doing on this one.

I had one of these once but got shot of it on Ebay.

IIRC its as rough as a Badgers bum.
