Paint It! Decal It! Display It! Review: Great Starter Kit - Great Starter Kit for people getting into Scale Modelling. I took a long break from making Airfix models and wanted to get back into the swing of it. This set provides all the tools required to produce a high quality Red Arrow, the paint can be hit and miss within starter sets, however if you mix it enough and give it a good shake the paint is fine and gives you plenty for the model, even if you make a mistake. The level of details is what you expect for a 1:72 Scale model. Review: Ideal Starter Kit for Budding Modelers - I recently purchased the Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc Starter Set (A55001) and found it to be an excellent introduction to scale modeling. The kit includes everything needed to begin: the model itself, a small tube of cement, four acrylic paints, and a paintbrush. The simplified construction process, with fewer parts and clear instructions, made assembly straightforward and enjoyable. The model features impressive surface detail and accurate proportions, capturing the essence of the iconic Spitfire. Additionally, the inclusion of a display stand allows for an attractive presentation of the finished model. However, I did encounter a minor issue with the included paints, which were a bit thick and required thinning for optimal application. Also, the decal sheet provides markings for only one aircraft, limiting customization options. Overall, the Airfix Spitfire Mk.Vc Starter Set offers a rewarding and accessible entry point into the world of scale modeling, making it a worthwhile choice for newcomers. ## Features - Flammable liquid and vapour. - May cause drowsiness or dizziness. - Warning:Not suitable for children under 8 years.

I bought this set for my friend who is trying to get into it, since he didn’t know what to do at all I went to his house and helped him a bit when needed. I noticed the box was a bit broken on the top right but other than that nothing on the box. The box art was good tbf to Airfix. As we continued through the model there were a few things to consider before buying. Firstly if you want a lot of detail there is no point getting this Airfix model as it’s designed for complete beginners, I would recommend a different one of their products for that. It’s not perfect either, for example there are sometimes small gaps where the joins are. Also the front propeller piece that makes the actual propeller spin doesn’t fit very well. Other than that everything was alright with the model itself. As for the paints glue and brush everything was okay but as expected. The glue had a very strong smell, and was quite “clumsy and random” according to my friend. Also the paints were by no means good. As the black was completely dried out and the 106 half dried out. The brush was fine but could probably only be used 3-4 times on seperate occasions. Other than that it’s a good little set with fair detail, and also very good easy instructions. A little tip for the join gaps a good little trick to deal with them if you want to (obviously not essential) is to get a pot with a lid, cut up some of the access plastic that’s not in use, and the glue cement, mix it well, and leave for 24 hrs. After use a cocktail stick to spread the “filler” into any places that’s needed, you don’t need a massive layer just enough to Seal. After this sand it down and paint over. It just a small tip to cover up everything ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix Starter Set - A55002 Red Arrows Hawk Model Building Kit - Plastic Model Plane Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes Decals, Acrylic Paints, Brushes & Poly Cement - 1:72 Scale Model - Airfix Starter Set - A55003 Sherman Firefly Model Building Kit - Plastic Model Tank Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes Decals, Humbrol Acrylic Paints, Brushes & Poly Cement - 1:72 Scale Model - Airfix Starter Set - A55013 North American P-51D Mustang Model Building Kit - Plastic Model Plane Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes Sprues, Decals, Paints, Brush & Glue - 1:72 Scale Model --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/282309922-airfix-starter-set-a55002-red-arrows-hawk-model-building-kit](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/282309922-airfix-starter-set-a55002-red-arrows-hawk-model-building-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
