jenko Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Another one bites the dust. This time the exquisite Tamiya 1/32 Mk 16e Spitfire in the markings of No.1 Refresher Flying Unit, RAF Finningley, March 1949. It's out of the box apart from Barracuda rocker covers, cockpit door and HGW seat belts. This is a dream kit. However the decals are thick and do not conform the way I would have liked ....yes they did go swimming in Mico Sol. The fit of the engine cowlings is a bit iffy. I do wish they would offer a no engine option. Also the eagled eyed amongst you will have noticed that the walk inboard stencils are on the wrong side. . However I have seen them like that on some photo's. Any way on to the pic's. Please feel free to comment etc. Thanks for looking Dick 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 That certainly is a beautiful Spitfire. I've got a real soft spot for the MkXVI and I think your second photo captures the sit of the aeroplane perfectly. Thank you for sharing it.
