This is, IMHO, the sleekest of all Merlin powered Spitfires, Supermarine Spitfire MkXVIe RACER 6. Cooper Air Race July 1949. I’ll use Lifelike decals 32-011 and Barracuda post war 3 slots wheels with radial thread.
Well, there she is. Enjoyable build. These new series of 1/32 Tamiya kits are a dream to build.
