BloorwestSiR 10,151 Posted January 2, 2017 Here's my entry in the GB. It's the Tamiya low back XVI kit. I'll be using Life Like decals to do TD248. I have a bit of AM to add to the build but it'll be mostly OOB. This means I'll have two different Spitfires on separate group builds at the same time.

mozart 4,972 Posted January 2, 2017 You're certainly the Spitfire man Carl, I've no doubt this one will be well up to the standard of your other Spits and she'll look really striking in those colours!

Max Thanks Max! At one point last night, I had a VII, VIII, XIV, this one and the 22 in the Jurassic Plastic GB all out on my workbench. It was quite the mess of plastic sprues. I really enjoy building the Tamiya Spitfires for some reason. 2 KiwiZac and mozart reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'd have got confused about which bit belonged to which and ended up with a bit of a mongrel or two! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
