Hmmm, Seafire XV from Sword... I assume it'll be injection with resin and PE like their T-33?

If so, I wonder if it's not time to consider trying to sell my Czechmaster Seafire XV and getting one of these instead...

It's 99.9% injection, just resin exhausts and canon barrels. It's a nice kit got both it and the XVII

My favourite Mk of Spitfire, so looking forward to this.

The Sword kits take a little bit of care, but they go together o.k. if you take your time. What with this set and the new tool Airfix Mk V due it's looking like a good last quarter of the year.

Are you sure the Airfix MkV is a new tool?  I gathered their Mk Va was simply a decal variant of their Mk I.
