I just caught sight of an advert for one of those "pay £1000 over three years, first part only £1.99" deals for what appears to be a nice motorised model of a Spitfire.

I wandered if anyone has seen something similar, but ready to buy all in one go. It would be for my father who has dementia, so I don't have the time left with him to finish it bit by bit. To an extent the money isn't an issue.

Any ideas gratefully received!

Does really need to be a Spitfire.

One of the saddest days since his diagnosis was watching an antiques TV show held in a hangar with a Hurricane in the background, and Dad getting animated about the Spitfire (obviously I didn't correct him) until one of the presenters said it was a Hurricane...

...my dad has always hated Hurricanes!

Thanks for your replies

Already built that at work (I work with kids in care) and the matching ME109, we have a dogfight in our kitchen!
I might do another with him, although he was struggling with a small Lego car at Xmas the year before last.

Thank you for the reminder of the "Lego" one, probably a good option
