With each new repaint release of its Spitfire mold, Gemini continues to improve
this model. With the release of this livery, which depicts the Spit flown by ace John
Plagis, Gemini now makes what I consider to be THE BEST Spitfire in 1:72 -- if
not all scales. This model is simply beautiful!
The camo colors are now accurate, and the fit/finish are truly superb. This is
definitely a don't-miss-it model. Note: I only photographed it in "flying mode" for
pics of what GA Spits looked "parked", check out the JJ Spit here.
Highly Recommended!
