Spitfire is a Spitfire... Pretty regular standard build...
Seafire is a bit more unique.. So, with birthday money, get something a bit more non-regular..

I'd go with the PR, love the blue paint job. And compare it to a mk1 spit and you'll see that 'spitfire is a spitfire' isn't necessarily true.

I would say seafire, probably because i havent built one yet.
Whichever you choose, enjoy!

I built the seafire for the humbrol acrylic thinner video and really enjoyed it - great fit at the wing root stands out in my mind, being an armour modeller building planes this is always a miracle for me! Optional folded wings as well, makes it more interesting! Seafire gets my vote, but its your birthday money, hit the model shop and have a browse

Have built both and they are both nice kits. Will put some picks in the gallery at some point.
Something about the Seafire though........
