TAMIYA 1/32 SPITFIRE Mk.XVIe…
This is one of my many Tamiya 1/32 Spitfires.
It's the aircraft flown by W.O. Murray Lind of 485(NZ) squadron in 1945.

I also referred to the RNZAF [...]

Spitfire Mk VIII
Recently I completed an Arii Spitfire Mk VIII. The MkVIII is my favorite
version of the Spitfire and as fate would have it, there was this one waiting in my stash of unbuilt kits. It was the first time I had made extensive use of paper [...]
Spitfire MK VIII 1/48 scale
For years modelers dreamed of a well engineered 1/48 Spitfire model that was accurate and well detailed. Finally, Eduard answered those calls with a very nice kit, and have continued to entertain us with various versions of this iconic [...]
