A very interesting story Mr T. Begs the question though why these are 90% scale rather than full size. I can understand too small a apscale you would struggle to get inside one. Wonder if has something to do with licensing? Happy Modelling

Here's the offical answer, and several reasons it seems..

Mr T Thanks for the update. Now even more confused  but shows I guess my lack of knowledge. They Are saying if I read this correctly that scaling the aircraft up by 10% would increase costs beyond belief. Either way fair play to them if they can get a squadron ofvthesevtogethervitvwill be one impressive site despit the scale  Happy Modelling

As a coincidence, just a couple of days after making queries on here regards availability of "Spitfire" in Australia the film "Battle Of Britain" about the Spitfire was on TV. So got see them in action. Regards George Building HMS SOTS
