Is this Spitfire in scale 1/87 ? I like this aircraft, especially the sound of the Merlin.

Hi Andreas
Yes it is a proper 1/87 scale Spitfire but I added some undercarriage to make it look nicer. It comes from a Japanese magazine plane collection http://j-planes.jp/home.html and if you look at 'section (update) 3' you can see a list of the 200 aircraft that were produced. Some were 1/87 but some of the bigger planes are in a smaller scale. My planes came from Ebay but I have not seen any recently and only the 1 time for the Spitfire so it was a bit of a chance that it was going to be the right size but fortunately all the ones that say they are 1/87 have been spot on for accuracy.
