Jonathan Mock Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 To the left, the original Airfix Mk.IX and to the right its replacement new-tool kit, both on the markings of Johnny Johnson. Nearly fifty years separate these kits.http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww195/jonathanmock/dscf2141.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You can call me Al Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I remember that original Mk IX. It was a pig of a kit. The worst thing about it being separate wings instead of a one piece lower wing half. It`s a amazing they sold it for as long as they did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Mock Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 It's a Spitfire so it'll always sell! Up until the 1990s, the only 1/72 IXs out there were the Airfix, Matchbox and KP kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
