KIT: Loon Models 1/48 Spitfire II set
KIT #: 48218
PRICE: $4.75 from www.rollmodels.com
DECALS: None
REVIEWER: Scott Van Aken
NOTES: Resin conversion

Most modelers don't realize that there is a difference between the Spitfire I and II. Small though it may be, many kits do not differentiate between the two. The Spit II had Coffman starter bulges and often used the blunt spinner and Rotol prop. This set provides all of those and is a simple swap out with kit parts. The set is designed for the Tamiya Spitfire I, but you could probably use others if you wished. Clean-up of the thin flash will only take a few minutes and it is ready to use. You also get extra starter bulges in case one goes flying off into the distance! Full instructions are on the back of the header card.
