Showtime 100 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Is this a/c finished ? Beautiful beyond hyper-focused detail on the Spit; to say the least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 2 and a half days, That's what it took to get Tamiya's big Spitfire done! It's hard to believe that it's finally finished. I installed the cowl panels for the first two pics just to show that after everything was all said and done they still fit reasonably well. Not perfect but not all that bad either. I was quite surprised. They are quite fiddly to install, especially the side panels as they have to be manipulated around the exhaust so it's quite unlikely I'll be taking them on or off to many times. Now that she's finished, my opinion of this kit hasn't changed from the day I opened the box. What an incredible feat of engineering on Tamiya's part. This is one of the most magnificent kits I've ever has the pleasure to build. All comments and critique welcome and I want to thank all those that helped me with photos, drawings, books, and encouragement to see this one through to the end. This was truly an international effort! Cheers, Wolf Captain Boogaloo, Sparzanza, geedubelyer and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 This is just just plain beautiful - what a great looking Spit, Wolf. It was definitely worth all the work! Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It's brilliant Wolf, not sure what else to say really. Everything about it is just perfect. I wanted to thank you for making my efforts feel half-assed and inadequate in comparison. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironwing Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Wolf, I don't know what I can add to what's already been said. This goes beyond impressive in its execution and balance. At its worst, its museum quality work presented by a Master. Cheers Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Not only a master modeler at work on one of the finest builds I've ever seen, but the whole build should be published somewhere as a Master Class. Given the recent book about building the HE-219, I would think this aircraft is even more deserving of being published for the hobby. Thank you, Wolf, for sharing so generously with your efforts. I doubt I could attempt (let alone bring off) 50% of your scratch-built details, but they are truly fantastic.
