This is a dog of a kit, the new wings are far too thick and don't fit the old fuselage very well !

Glad you managed to beat it mate.
The new Airfix Spitfire Mk1 will look light-years' ahead, compared to their older kits. When they first issued the MkV, back in around 1979, it was streets ahead, and the first, and only kit at the time, to capture the 'gull wing' underside wing root shape. I guess trying to add new parts, from a different manufacturing source, hasn't worked out too well !
 
I think Airfix chucked in most of the Mk IX wing parts in as I got six stack exhausts, four blade prop but the wings are so thick at the root that they stand higher than the fuselage joint line and he fit at the lower fuselage is ridiculous, have failed to get the proper dihiedral on both models but it will do for now as I might 're visit these two with better kits ?
