We all know the
spitfire so it doesn't really need an introduction. So how can we make this
utterly drained subject slightly more interesting? Well, with Iron Maiden of
course.
The famous British
heavy metal band have a song called Aces High and during this song a full size
Spitfire replica is suspended over the stage. This inspired Revell to turn this
into a 1:32 scale model kit to please both Spitfire as well as Iron Maiden fans.

The kit uses
the already great 1:32 scale Revell Spitfire part and adds a set of special
decals for two versions and, even better, two 1:32 scale Eddies. (Eddie is Iron
Maiden's mascot lingering between life and death as he addornes their albums and
frequently appears on stage.) The kit itself is an easy build. The sprues
start to look a bit worn, probably due to high production numbers but fit is
still great just as the details. But those two figurines by themselves are
totally worth the price of the kit.
