Tamiya 1/32 VIII Spitfire

April 12, 2020 · in Aviation · · 8 · 2.3K

These 1/32 Tamiya aircraft kits are simply amazing. I've also built the Corsair and the Mustang as well with he Zero in the stash - they are all close to flawless. To this Spitfire I added Barracuda Cast 5 slot main wheels and pilot's door. I also added Quickboost Fishtail exhausts and Eduard PE Seatbelts. The decals are Baracuda Cals "Spitfire Mk.VIII Pt I".

  1. That's fantastic job, Richard! Cannot stop looking at all these details!

  2. Beautiful Spitfire, Richard. You have given it an appropriately beaten up look. I have been astounded how battered and sun-baked these machines got in the CBI theater. I have the kit and decals for this machine as well. I hope what I can do with it will be half as good as yours.

  3. Really nice work Richard. I like this a lot!
