Thank you to the ‘Dad testers’, judges, and entire team for helping us spread the joy that is model building by selecting our product as one of your winners. Sometimes the best ‘dad gift’ is one he gets to share with his children and this starter set is the perfect choice for that. This easy-to-build Spitfire is ideal for modellers of all skills and a great starting point for anyone wanting to get involved in the hobby, not to mention fun for all the family.”
