Re: Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk.IXc
Well presented as per usual...nice to see Airfix making improvements on their products but as others have said...shame about the 'Prescription' canopy...maybe they should address this issue as it is a common gripe as it spoils the models.
...unless of course the clear parts are sub contracted out to another supplier...'Specsavers' perhaps...

Re: Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk.IXc
New tooling this kit is from Airfix except the canopy...is it likely that the canopies are the original Spitfire ones from the early 60's then?
Anyone got an early Spit to compare?
