Had our local show last weekend, managed to pick up a couple of kits, both from Tiger Models
Cute little "egg plane" like aircraft. Designed more for kids as it is a snap fit, and comes with both stickers and decals, but being a Spitfire, I couldn't pass it up.
Also got:
Really great kit. I liken it to a cross between a Tamiya (maybe for the color and feel of the styrene), but with the detail of a Trumpeter or AFV Club kit.
Upon opening the kit, I was surprised to see a metal barrel for the secondary armament, and equally surprised to see the main gun was also metal, but that Tiger Models has an interesting way of including it in the kit.
Molded right into the sprue, so that there aren't any seam lines on the canvas portion of the barrel cover. Couple of simple mold line that are easily cleaned up.
Very ingenious. Tiger Models also gives you a sheet of brightly colors stickers that are meant to attach to the sprue trees, to make it easy to see which one you need, rather than have to look for the embossed lettering.
My first Tiger Models kit....don't think it will be my last if they keep up this quality!
