Howdy folks,

 

I've just published my late-to-the-party review of Tamiya's Spitfire XVIe kit:

Thanks to HobbyLink Japan for the review sample. The kit can be purchased from the following link:

Enjoy!

Hi Kev, nice review on the kit. 

 

The tube of grease is for the sliding canopy.  One other sprue that's different and that's the one with the MLG legs and the blisters related to the E wing versus the earlier C wings on the VIII and IX kits.

Thanks for the additional info, Carl. I do have the Mk IX kit, but a close comparison between the two was really beyond the scope of the review, so I missed those additional changes.

Excellent review, Kev. Thanks for taking the time. If Tamiya were ever to release a Mk I/II, I'd be all over that like a dog on a pork chop.

 

In my case a Mk XIV, XIX, or indeed any PR variant (the latter have been sadly neglected in all scales imho).

Ditto, esp the low back Griffon FR.XIV — might just have to get the new Airfix 1/48 offering for a fix. But done by Tamiya in 1/32 — wooh!

 

Thanks for a nice review. The Tamiya IX and this XVI are terrible temptresses.

Thank you for the review Kev - and another vote for a Mk I!

 

A proper Mk I with accurate detail - lapped panels, raised rivets where there were raised rivets, recessed where recessed, with options for early through late Mk I. Ahh, sweet dreams....

 

The eightieth anniversary of the Battle of Britain approaches - one lives in hope.
