Thanks to the recent release of  a new mold Spitfire I in 1/72 scale by Airfix, Pavla has produced this upgrade set to enhance what is already a nice model. This set includes two new vacuformed canopies (one with the small clear view section on the left side), new exhaust with the ends already drilled out, a new carb intake, new oil cooler and base plate, new five spoke wheels and a new coolant radiator housing with exhaust door.

All of this is a direct replacement for kit parts so no instructions are included or needed. A very nice upgrade set that will look great on your next Airfix Spitfire I build.
