Try Mick Reeves Models in the UK for either a 1/6th or a 1/4 Spit mk ix {6' or 9' span}.
For something a little different from the commonly modeled mk v or mk ix, consider a 1/5th scale spit mk xiv {RR Griffon engine} either high back or bubble canopy from Fokkerc.com. I have one of these kits and will get around to starting it sometime this year.
I think 1\5th scale {88" span} is a good compromise between size, cost, transport issues etc. An added advantage is that you can purchase scale cockpit detail parts here on RCU

And I've looked at the Seagull ARF, but I'm not sure how 'scale' it is. I don't think you can get the Yellow kit any more, can you?
So let's hear some suggestions. Which is your favorite Spitfire? Rate them on cost, fly-ability, scale looks, or whatever!
