very difficult fit - decent detail
Never heard of this make before, but was tempted by the good price for a 48 scale plane. I'll avoid them in the future however. pretty good detail moulded in a relatively soft plastic. Well detailed engine - unfortunately it just would not fit in the engine bay, and despite quite a bit of carving of the fuselage and the engine itself, still couldn't get the top panel to fit with the engine in place, so after more butchery, i had to glue the panel in place hiding the engine except for the spindle poking out for the prop, and the exhausts poking out of the sides - although in the end i had to break them off and stick them through the sides. There was no option offered in the instructions for just adding the exhausts and prop shaft without the engine in the bay, which would have been a great fallback position! I don't like using filler/modelling putty, but I did for this kit, particularly over the engine bay, and at the junction between the underside of the wings and the fuselage and on the top of the wings at the back with the fuselage. Other parts such as the usually tricky wheels were fine, but the bomb supports were very fine - nice but tricky. Overall I would say this was at least a 4 or maybe the top 5 on the Revell scale of difficulty - not and easy build, but made very difficult and frustrating by the poor fit in critical areas. It's not finished yet, but when I get it polished up and painted, I think it will make a nice model if the remaining stages and the decals go ok.

Good kit for the price
For the price this is a good kit, it's got a few flaws: - overall mould quality wasn't amazing but nothing that can't be worked with -very fragile decals -not much detail in cockpit However for what your paying for it I would reccomend

2000年頃に登場したキットで、マーリンエンジン型スピットファイアとしては最終形態と言える、バブルキャノピー型を再現したキットです。 全体的なプロポーションやディテールは良好なキットで、特にこのスケールで機首内部のエンジンや主翼内部の20㎜機関砲まで再現したスピットファイアのキットはICMくらいでしょう。 組み立てにはややクセがあるので、初心者向けとは言えませんが、スピットファイアフリークなら挑戦する価値はあるキットだと思います。

Der Bausatz hat einige nette Details. So gibt es unter anderem einen kompletten RR Merlin Motor, was in diesem Maßstab nicht selbstversändlich ist, die Waffenschächte lassen sich geöffnet darstellen und die Querruder, sowie das Seitenruder sind seperat ausgeführt und können ausgelenkt dargestellt werden. Die Gravuren simnd fein ausgearbeitet und das Cockpit ist detailliert. Man kann sich aussuchen, ob man es geschlossen oder geöffnet bauen möchte. Typisch ICM gibt es allerdings keinerlei Passstifte die einem die Montage erleichtern. Spachtelmasse wird ebenfalls benötigt. Auf den Tragflächen und am Cockpit gibt es einige Sinkstellen, die gefüllt werden wollen, ebenso wie die Spalten an den Kühlern und am Übergang von den Tragflächen zum Rumpf. ICM gibt einem zwei nahezu identische Maschienen zur Auswahl. Da der Markierungsbogen, ebenfalls typisch ICM, von sehr schlechter Qaulität ist (die Schrift ist zum Teil stark verlaufen und die einzelnen Decals lösen sich gern im Wasser auf), sollte man sich nach einem Markierungsbogen aus dem Zubehör umsehen. Ich musste allerdings feststellen, dass das im Bezug auf die Spitfire Mk.XVI nicht einfach ist. Fazit: Mit etwas Mühe und Geduld kann der geübte Modellbauer für kleines Geld ein ansehnliches Modell auf die Räder stellen, für Einsteiger oder Kinder ist der Bausatz nicht zu empfehlen.
