Looks like it should be in a cage when it's not flying; it just looks dangerous sitting there. I want one. - Dennis S. Mount Juliet, TN USA Of all the spitfire versions,it's the Griffon engine ones that really grab me . Real hot rods , and I'm a serious gearhead, love engines and always have!

jbrennan Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I have a 1/32 scale Spitfire Mk IX and Mk 14 post war trainer decal sheet done by DACO decals. Last time I looked they still do it. Really prompt service too. Rgds jon. CRAZY IVAN5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis7423 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Well, our fearless converter posted on his Facebook page that he spent the day folding and measuring (with a good old fashioned measuring tape) a restored XIV at the Spitfire Museum in Florennes, Belgium. For what it's worth, the one he was studying was a high-back variant (maybe we'll get lucky?). At least he's doing his homework! - Dennis S.

Dennis7423 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 And here's today's update, and I even snagged a few photos for you non-Facebook folks. "Nearing the end on the nose! Rivets and panels are 95% complete. And those propeller blades were funny as hell to loft. Dead accurate profiles (thank you again Andy!), good positioning references, a little guess work based on the pics, and voilà. I will soon be working again on the tail, and make a start on the wing rads." - Dennis S.

seiran01 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Gentlemen, please calm down.

ade rowlands Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I could be tempted by this. That will be another donor kit required then. williamj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIVe I must have missed this stunning kit earlier on williamj. Beautifully finished and realistic looking, even down to the photographic lighting which looks like afternoon sunlight !

He seems to be moving right along... nose is almost done, and then he'll finish the tail, and start on the radiators. As for kit compatibility, I don't see why it wouldn't work for all of Tamiya's Spitfire kits. Perhaps others can chime in with more details. - Dennis S.
