Top flight makes a great kit for the average builder to do a great job. the instructions are clear and step by step a new builder that doesn't mind taking there time can end up with a nice looking plane, I also built the spitfire after not having done much building in a long time pretty pleased with the model I am now on to a TF P-47 almost done with the sheeted fuse after a couple of weeks of building just stick to the steps, the models come together nicely. hey Scott maidened your spit yet ? haven't taken mine out yet still a little wobbly knee and waiting for low wind day.
