Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire Mk XVI, flown by Raymond Lallemant, a 6 victory Belgian ace

[Thomas Lund]

I think I've mentioned it, but I'm trying to build pilots from as many nations as possible. This time it's Belgium. These markings are included in the kit, but I made my own paints masks for everything except stencils and the personal stuff around the cockpit door. Kit basically out of the box except HGW belts and Aires wheels. I don't usually do open engines etc as I think it destroys the look of the plane, but this time i decided to deviate from that - mainly because the engine is a work of art right oob, and there was nothing interesting on the cowl anyway.

 

Hope you enjoy

Very beautiful!!! That is an amazing aircraft I'm starting the Revell Mk.IXc with some AM sets plus the Iron Maiden decals from the Mk.II set, should be fun
