5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal Starter Kit for Budding Modelers
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I recently purchased the Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc Starter Set (A55001) and found it to be an excellent introduction to scale modeling. The kit includes everything needed to begin: the model itself, a small tube of cement, four acrylic paints, and a paintbrush. The simplified construction process, with fewer parts and clear instructions, made assembly straightforward and enjoyable. The model features impressive surface detail and accurate proportions, capturing the essence of the iconic Spitfire. Additionally, the inclusion of a display stand allows for an attractive presentation of the finished model.However, I did encounter a minor issue with the included paints, which were a bit thick and required thinning for optimal application. Also, the decal sheet provides markings for only one aircraft, limiting customization options.Overall, the Airfix Spitfire Mk.Vc Starter Set offers a rewarding and accessible entry point into the world of scale modeling, making it a worthwhile choice for newcomers.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good
This review is for the “Airfix starter set BF-109F4”-Great little model if you’re thinking of starting to do scale modelling. I hadn’t made a model for about 35 years and got this kit to do while on my dinner break at work. It was a lot more enjoyable than what I thought it would be. This kit would be great for any beginner as it’s really easy to follow the instructions even if you’re a parent helping your child to do it and have no experience of modelling. You will need some kind of craft knife or pointy snips to cut the pieces off of the sprues (the plastic frame/mold the model pieces are on) but that’s about it. I made mine in the canteen at work, it’s the only thing in the last 6 years that has made me look forward to turning up at work 😀
4.0 out of 5 stars Decent starter set..
Note a little tip at the end..I bought this set for my friend who is trying to get into it, since he didn’t know what to do at all I went to his house and helped him a bit when needed. I noticed the box was a bit broken on the top right but other than that nothing on the box. The box art was good tbf to Airfix. As we continued through the model there were a few things to consider before buying. Firstly if you want a lot of detail there is no point getting this Airfix model as it’s designed for complete beginners, I would recommend a different one of their products for that. It’s not perfect either, for example there are sometimes small gaps where the joins are. Also the front propeller piece that makes the actual propeller spin doesn’t fit very well. Other than that everything was alright with the model itself. As for the paints glue and brush everything was okay but as expected. The glue had a very strong smell, and was quite “clumsy and random” according to my friend. Also the paints were by no means good. As the black was completely dried out and the 106 half dried out. The brush was fine but could probably only be used 3-4 times on seperate occasions. Other than that it’s a good little set with fair detail, and also very good easy instructions.A little tip for the join gaps a good little trick to deal with them if you want to (obviously not essential) is to get a pot with a lid, cut up some of the access plastic that’s not in use, and the glue cement, mix it well, and leave for 24 hrs. After use a cocktail stick to spread the “filler” into any places that’s needed, you don’t need a massive layer just enough to Seal. After this sand it down and paint over. It just a small tip to cover up everything
5.0 out of 5 stars Good model but bad paint
You pay for a starter kit but paints we're useless all dried up to a crusted scab in the pot all four we're bined quality control needs improving i know only a base model but very disappointing to the gift receiver
5.0 out of 5 stars A great starting point for new and returning modellers
The last time I touched airfix, I was probably around 10 years old with the patience of a goldfish, where a thick single coat all in one colour was enough to call my models "done".22 years later, I've decided to pick up the hobby again, and was looking to test the waters if I would still enjoy creating model airplanes. (Spoiler Alert: I do).I picked up this kit as it seemed like a good deal, and a lovely starting point as it came with all the paints, brush and decals needed. The paints thankfully all were in fine condition, none had hardened or needed anything added to make them usable. The kit itself is reasonably simple if you've done any modelling work before, with a few fiddly bits that ideally you paint on the sprue first. The molding was great, and didn't require much sanding down, and all pieces fit together quite snug. Painted easily, and has successfully kick started a new hobby!While I did a far from perfect job, I'm happy with the outcome, as now I can justify better tools and time spent learning!
3.0 out of 5 stars Fun build
My 9 year old loved building the plane. Unfortunately the paint was all dried up so couldn’t use it

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for people looking to start out with model kits
Great starter kit, I found it fairly easy and made mistakes which I could learn from for more advanced models

❤️ I like it.
Unfortunately 2 of the 4 paint pots (light grey and the black) were totally dried up! Anyway, I like it so much! Planning to get more of it.
Easy Build with Decent Results
The model is easy build, however, that doesn't mean you will not get a very good reproduction of the spitfire mark v. Parts fit well together requiring minimum sanding and Decals are pretty good too.
Value for money!
Only reason i didnt give a 5 star was the paint that came with the kit was completely dried out. Might be some air or something that seeped into it or the kit may have been in storage for a long time. Tried to "reanimate" the paint with warm water and a little thinner but it was practically clay. lol Honestly everything else was perfect! New scale modelers (like me) will love this kit. Airmax even had a very handy build guide on Youtube.
