1/32 Tamiya Spitfire Mk. VIII

[David Mooney]

Hello all, 

I managed to pick this kit up from a bootfair so i was expecting some issues with bit missing....and it turned out the most of the engine was missing, which wasnt a major drama but it would have been nice to be able to have this opened up. 

 

I used Tamiya paints for this one with MLT and they worked like a dream, then used Mr Colour varnishes to finish it off. 

 

It was straight out of the box with no additions.

 

All comments are welcome but of note is there is no wire aerial attached due to travelling issues i.e. keep falling off :-)

Nice work Dave      btw, there was no aerial wire on MkVIIIs anyway.

Is that so...glad I didn't attempt then lol! Thanks for that bit of information as I didn't pick that up in my research.
