"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,
ewa@ewacars.com, http://www.ewacars.com/  ) A search of their web page shows 
the following models:

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.
