What's the best 1/48th scale Spitfire Mark XIV model kit?
I want to build a nice Spitfire Mark XIV e with a lot of engine detail and raised features without having to pay an arm and a leg for "aftermarket" upgrade kits that are made of toxic substances and break at the mere touch of an Xacto blade. Any suggestions? I've built the Tamiya and Fujimi kits, but want more detail.
The Academy #2161 of the Spitfire XIVe is a highly detailed kit
it is a recent release from Academy price around $41.00 cdn
check your hobby shops or on line for maybe better price
Car Spoiler & Body Kits
Any car owner can make his or her car stand out from the crowd by purchasing a body kit to change the look of it. Ford body kits and Holden body kits both contain many elements of the car body that are easy to replace and will make your car one that is unique – and possibly the envy of many.
Car body kits contain things such as spoilers, side skirts, front and rear bumpers, tail fins and more. You can mix and match such elements to get your car looking just the way you like it. Such components will not only make your car look different, but may well improve the aerodynamics and handling.
The main difference in body kits is what they are made of. The material must be light yet strong, so polyurethane, fibreglass and carbon fibre are all used. While polyurethane is light and relatively strong, it cannot be repaired if the car is involved in a prang, so you may want to think twice about buying a body kit made from that.
Fibreglass can be repaired so represents the best value for money. Fibreglass repair is relatively easy to do and will save you a bundle. You really wouldn't want to have to replace the whole part just because there was a tiny crack or scratch somewhere. Instead you can simply get that fibreglass repair kit and fix the damage quickly and easily.
Carbon fibre is the lightest of all, but is also the most expensive. When you are not sure exactly what parts you are going to use out of your body kit, paying top dollar seems a waste. How much better it is to go for the fibreglass that is light, relatively cheap and can be repaired into the bargain.
Once you have found the right accessories to customise your car you'll have lots of fun changing the look of your car to reflect your own personality and tastes.
