"I've definitely seen a cheap 1/43 (or thereabouts) model recently of an
early Sptifire, possibly a Corgi model? Anyone out there know what I'm
talking about?! Or whether they're available in North America? If not,
I could possibly buy one and post it to you, Creig."
EWA has a good selection of ready built models. (1-800-EWA-4454,

I picked up the 1/43 scale Spitfire model at a local flea market for $15. The
maker is Solido.
I have no connection with EWA, etc. etc. - just a happy customer.
