It is a nice little kit and goes together very well .. little fuss. **Q: What types of glue might work with the kit?** A: Hi, cyanoacrylate adhesives/glues work fine. Revell, Tamiya and other are ok. **Q: Is this plane prepainted?** A: hi I'm sorry it took me so long to answer your question but the model is not pre painted it's up there plastic you have nowhere to go to Painted you can get offended by hand oh by spray gun I paid mine either or sometimes I like the pain in my hand with acrylic paint they work a lot better I the thinner if you cared about the thinner as too much to do this 1 water a little bit of dishwasher soap like Dawn that's the best one or you could do the same thing water delivery water but they wait to 10 drops of dishwashing soap shake it and then you could use it as a thinner and also to you add 1/4 of say you have a bottle you got one quoted about it with alcohol 91% is better the rest of the water then 67 drives a more of a dishwashing soap hey what's good with a acrylic paints sometimes you could just use just water and soap for dinner but you want that clean it real good alcohol rubbing alcohol that you buy the stores that I got. A 50 you could buy that maybe the best way if you have anymore questions go ahead and drop a question by I have the model of my hand and call me anytime thank you very much Rafael Gonzales **Q: I'm looking for a first model for the under 8 age range. Is this a good one to start with or is there a different one I should look at?** A: If an adult is helping and supervising building the model kit it should be fine. If not helping and supervising I would recommend snap together model kits. there is a wide range of these kits from aircraft,cars,tanks, and a few ships. This is a good first step into actual gluing together and painting kits. There is also a wide range of acrylic water based paints and less toxic model glues. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Spitfire Mk 1 kit! *by on Reviewed in the United States September 10, 2023* This Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk-1 is a really a fine kit of the most iconic aircraft of WWII. The model has recessed panel lines, a nicely detailed cockpit, choice of landing gear up or down, a pilot figure, great clear parts, and beautiful decals. A great kit if you are new to modeling, or if you are an experienced modeler looking for a nice easy and fun model to build. The parts fit is very good- the fuselage will fit together better if you remove the locating pins and. carefully glue the halves together a section at a time. This will save you from a lot of putty work and sanding. A real winner and a great bargain, highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kit! *by on Reviewed in the United States February 18, 2024* This is a great kit to build. Parts went together without a fuss. You'll have to purchase paints and glue separately for this build. However there is a starter set available if you can find one. This is would be a great beginner model. It is small and does have small parts. You can leave the small parts off and still have a great looking model. I definitely recommend this kit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Product is great, Amazon's packaging inadequate. *by on Reviewed in the United States July 1, 2023* The model is great, although squashed. Amazon failed to properly package it for shipping though and it arrived crushed. Hopefully the parts have not been damaged beyond repair. Not worth the trouble to request a replacement as it would likely arrive damaged too.The model looks usable, but it won't be apparent until assembly. If it comes out ok it will be a great addition to my collection. ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix A01071B Supermarine Spitfire Mkia 1:72 Model Building Kit (36 Piece), Multicolor - Airfix Model Tank - A01316V Russian T34, Plastic Model Kits for Adults & Kids 14+, 1:76 Scale, Skill Level 2, WW2 Theme Military Models, World War 2 Tanks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/66492937-airfix-model-airplane-kit-gift-set-a01071b-supermarine-spitfire-mk](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/66492937-airfix-model-airplane-kit-gift-set-a01071b-supermarine-spitfire-mk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
