Nice to see it in a Polish guise of fighter ace Jan Zumbach. I wonder if the Airfix prop motor can still be used with this kit..

That's a good price Graeme. Not the most detailed Spitfire kit and not the best fitting of parts, but at that price for a 1:24 model who cares!!

The Airfix web site says this item is discontinued. It`s advertised to retail at approx £3.50, but everywhere I looked said out of stock. So I searched ebay and the only place with stock is 2ktechnologies who are a registered airfix retailer. Just depends if you want to pay £15.99  See link below.

If discontinued then its possible the nose internal moulding may not be suited for the motor on the later Airfix 1/24 warbirds, though fitting a different motor (possibly geared) shouldn't pose too much of a problem to fit.
Oh I did laugh at the Motor cost from this chancer..better be quick, only has one left https://www.amazon.co.uk...Accessory/dp/B001JJTIAY
