Hmmmm…I have exactly the same Spitfire as you Daz, but it is the 3rd example of that model, as the first two were returned as they were both found to be damaged 🙁
I’m a little surprised that you would keep something like this on top of your TV though, I’m so anal about mine, that when Mr Ashley’s family come round, it gets put in it’s box where it stays until they’ve gone (With good reason I hasten to add, as one New Year’s his family came round, and one of them, who has never owned up to this, managed to snap the probe off the front of my EE Lightning…fortunately Corgi’s spares department came up trumps and I managed to fix it, but that’s another story altogether!)
I have to say, I have never stood any of mine on their wheels in case the wheels snapped, I tend to display mine “in flight” (although the covers on where the wheels should go on my Hunter are always falling off…and I mean always…I don’t even have to go any where near it and they fall off :()
Is it still £90 for a 1:32 Spit in the shop, Adam? I thought they went down in price once…I have to say, that if I didn’t have the IWM staff discount I might well baulk at paying that, but then I have seem them for sale at other Museums for similar prices.
