Thunnus Posted March 9 Posted March 9 (edited) This is my recently completed Spitfire XIVe using the Laminar Flow Design conversion set and the Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XVIe kit. I also threw in LFD's cockpit details, a raft of Barracuda Studios Spitfire upgrades, Master brass gun barrels and a HGW fabric seatbelt harness. Major markings were painted using custom cut masks from the Portrait craft cutter. Maintenance stencils were from Aviaeology. The complete build log can be found at: Final model photography using Canon 5D Mk IV with EF 24-105 f/4L IS processed in Adobe Lightroom.
