Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire I

July 29, 2024 · in Aviation · · 10 · 267

Tamiya's new tool I was an opportunity to explore the characteristics of early Spitfires. The new tool kit is more detailed and has photoetch parts. I used the instructions and spare parts to upgrade the original 1993 mold. The result was that it is almost impossible to distinguish between the two models.

Yet, in terms of accuracy and detailing the equivalent kit is still superior.
