Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XVIe


Recommended Posts

Built from the box except Aries cockpit door. Decals from the Kagero Topcolors Spitfire XVIe book, which suggested this particular example was quite stained & dirty. Thanks for looking.

Thank you! The pilot is my permit to commit Spitfire modelling sin #1: Flaps down!

Looks great, the pilot figure is very impressive and certainly adds to the build but he will be in for it with his flaps down.

 

Cheers

As I said, #1 model Spitfire sin, but in my mind it went down something like this:

 

“Bloggs, and why are your flaps still down??” “She dumped the hydraulics on touchdown boss!”

”Hmmm, ok but why are you wearing your O2 mask on the ground?” “Still feeling a bit groggy after the do in the mess last night boss, and the crew wanted me to do a few high power runs while they tuned her up” etc etc
