I have seen the size of the spitfire and I do know that this particular model (Altaya if I am not mistaken) has been on the partwork trail before around Europe.
I have chosen not to build this particular kit because, and this is just my own opinion, to me this does not represent the ultimate spitfire kit in any scale as reguards accuracy.
I could start the kit, but I would be constantly correcting the kit to produce the correct outline and detail. Blueprints of the particular version and aircraft represented built Castle Bromwich in 1941 are available online I believe:

When I look at this site and see all the blueprints then it is a goldmine! Maybe Mr T could add it to the Spitfire resource section.
If Deag had done this like the zero then I would be more than interested... I would have subscribed in what passes for a heartbeat for me

It is one of the most iconic aircraft ever designed and built and seeing them stil flying and hearing the growl of the merlin engines makes me feel proud to be british!
but no! Sadly my pocket won't run to this, and also there are lots of corrections to do, especially the ROTOL spinner and propeller blades, the cannon fairings etc.
I do know that there was a flyable radio control partwork spitfire put out a few years back and this is remarkably similar.
Maybe I could purchase a set and send it to Deag for them to use to do a full metal frame spit which would go nicely alongside the zero.
Those doing the spit I am sure will enjoy building this model, but this time I can't as I have a list of kits I "Must Have" which include HK's new B17, Tamiya's Corsair, Hobbyboss P61, ZM's Raiden and Trumpeter's new 1/16 SU 100 Tank Destroyer.
My stash is looking a little depleated (not much though

and there are gaps to fill and those will fill them nicely!
