Out2gtcha Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Indeed, this should be good! I too have the FDM conversion in my stash, but alas no kit in a blue box. Looking forward to what is done here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 For Giggles and Grins, Tamiya MkXVI on the right. Revell Mk.22/24 on the Left. BradG, MARU5137, MikeC and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 For those out of the 'Spitfire Loop' The Mk.XVI was a cut down Mk.IX with a Packard built Merlin. From Front to tail, Fuselage Frame #5 lines up, Frame #5 is also known as the engine firewall (this had asbestos sandwiched between two sheets of material) Then going back to Frame #11 This Frame is at the Cockpit door aft edge, This is the forward fuselage. Then from frame #11 to frame #19 (19 is just in front of the Horizontal Tail) this is what they call the Main Fuselage.

Scotsman Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Having gone through this trial of a build , might I suggest having a word with http://www.iconicair.com/ A replacement Prop, Tail and engine cowlings will make huge difference to the look of the final model Edited September 19, 2021 by Scotsman Uncarina, Anthony in NZ, wunwinglow and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
