Building : Eduard : Spitfire Mk.I : Spitfire Story The Few : Advanced In Box Review : Part.1 of 3 

so good - SOLD! just placed the order..... now waiting for Royal Mail

The face on the pilot actually looks like Bader!

Hi Bob, you can actually get the posters of these box tops from the eduard store! I would certainly like to have the box top poster for the Spitfire Mk1 early! Cheers!

The option I would like would be a two bladed propeller and a flat curve early canopy! Any chance please???

Thank you, thank you! Been wanting to see a review of this kit.

Looking good thanks for showing.

Nice idea bobby

Lovely set of Spit's there . I have just started the Tamiya MKI 1/48 version its good but not a good as these!

A note about Spitfire propellers: the first 77 production aircraft were fitted with the fixed pitch, 2-blades Watts propellor. Most remaining Mk.I production got the deHavilland 3-bladed prop with 2-pitch settings. This gave a substantial improvement in top speed and climb rate despite being substantially heavier than the Watts prop. Starting in June 1940 these deHavilland props started to be retrofitted with a constant speed kit that made the propellor pitch fully variable. The retrofits were complete by early August 1940. Lastly, 54 Sqn got Spitfires with constant speed Rotol props. These had a domed spinner in contrast to the more pointy spinner on the deHavilland prop. The Rotol prop is most associated with the Spitfire Mk.II but it was also used on the Hurricane Mk.I. Since the Rotol prop had a larger diameter spinner than the standard Hurricane props the backplate overhangs the front of the cowl significantly. Note that the Hurricane deHavilland prop is not the same as the Spitfire deHavilland prop and the Hurricane used a different 2-blade prop as well. However, there may be specific Hurricanes that had the Spitfire deHavilland prop fitted.

Hi, thank you for this review. Do you use AK 3rd génération ? Which parts for the dilution do you do ?
