Be prepared for a nasty suprise on the price though. Rich

Hope you have a deep pocket as its a bit collectable now. Not aware of a Triumph Spit in plastic however.

Thanks for the nudge Noel:
PYRO GT6 can be seen here
spitfire.amicale.com/miniatures/miniature.php3?id=251
I'm sure they were 1/32

I'm also sure the Spitfire was in white on the box lid, but maybe it's age catching up with me....

The following look like resin copies of previous kits, in 1/32, so I think I may have been right ...

I'll admit the model version would be miles easiers to restore.. (mk IV 1300 in Magenta here...)

I'll add my name to the list of Triumph owning modellers then. MkIV Spit - daily driver and late MkIII GT6 - Summer use only (not tax exempt)
I have the Lindberg GT6+ in my stash, bought it from ebay USA when the pound was very strong!
I have been thinking about making a start on the kit but it will take a lot of work to make a decent model out of it.
Incidentally, the GT6+ is the US equivalent to a UK spec MkII.
Another downside is the Lindberg kit is LHD. A lot of work.
