                        My son (13) wishes to build a Spitfire airplane. He's not picky about the version. He's never really built a model before, so I was thinking 1/48th, and something that goes together well. I'd build the same thing, so we could match progress, etc.

                        Suggestions on a good, easy to put together, Spitfire manufacturer?

                        Cheers!

                        Revell Monogram makes the best Spitfire for the cost in 1/48th scale.  VERY reasonably priced, too!

                        Agreed.

                        I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

                        Have fun.

                        I've heard a lot of good press about the new Airfix kits too.

                        Try one of the Airfix 1/72 offerings. They go together well, and look the part. HobbyBoss may also have one in it's easybuilder line. Building the HB Me-109 with my son, and it went together quick.
