Bought this kit in with a lot off of EvilBay. It was sealed but I opened it up just to see how "bad" a Starfix kit was since I have never owned one. Supposedly, some of the Spitfire MK IX's were copies of the old Monogram Four-Star 1/48 kit. But not this one. Don't know what copy it is from. However, not only did my example NOT include decals - there wasn't a clear canopy anywhere in the box!! >🙁

oh, let me clarify my quality comment. Kit copiers are responsible in some part for their quality, because they could have chosen different kits to copy.
The sneaky part that people don't realize is that for every "crappy Starfix" kit that was out there,,,,,,,there was the exact same model in one of our beloved "mainstream companies" boxes.

Hasegawa and Starfix T-38 could exactly swap parts between them, as could the Starfix and Airfix A-4. (except for that crude refueling probe that Starfix added to the tooling)

Don't know what kit they copied this one from. But it certainly was NOT the early Monogram one! Anyway, I found a volunteer to pilot it, and have cobbled together enough decals to make something of an Italian Spitfire late/post war. Also found some 20mm cannon barrels from some long-forgotten Spit that did not need them for that wing. If I can get the fuselage buttoned up and the 1:1 scale rivets off of the fuselage at least by the end of this weekend I will consider it progress.
