Reini78 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Tamiya should do more 1/48 Spits, not only the I and V.... here´s their Mk.Vb trop, another Tamiya shake and bake kit. Built oob some years ago, painted with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics Model shows an a/c of RAF 601 Sqn in North Africa 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 An excellent build. It helps also us 1/72 builders if Tamiya do more Spits as I assume they're scaled down from the 1/48 moulds. Got my Tamiya 1/72 Vb ready as the next build and it will be in a desert camo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batcode Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Very nice spitfire, great job on the finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I don't know if we need more Spits (there seems to be a good selection around) but this one is a cracker, really good job. I must admit to being a sucker for the tropical camo colours they always seem a really good alternative to grey & green and show off skilful weathering well.

NPL Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 and to be more specific. Yes, we need a lot more. If you compare the situation wwith quartersclae Zeros you will understand. My son a a huge pile of Zeros, all in splendid oresentations and top-modern kits. When it comes to Spitfires, we have very few first-class kits, some from Eduard, and the two new ones from Airfix, i.e., Mk.I, Vb, VIII, IXc + e, and Mk.XVI, high and low. That's all, if you ask for top-modern kits. And a number of important marks are still missing, most notably the XIV and XVIII, and then of course the PR Mk.XI.

Okay due to increasing pressure on my neck let me clarify. I love a Spit, every MK and wing orientation, but I think there are many other subjects which deserve a new kit (myself I would like a new Lysander and that,s the one I fancy at the moment) do you really want these pages to be nothing but Spitfires, 109s, Tigers or Shermans?
