Jun 22, 2012 #128 Crimea_River Marshal 46,500 14,576 Nov 16, 2008 Calgary Hey Wayne, can you check something for me? Check out post number 81 I just did here http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/14-home-country-modern-aircraft-spitfire-marks/1-48-spitfire-mk-viii-155-squadron-home-country-modern-aircraft-spitfire-marks-gb-32648-6.html and let me know how Tamiya molded the area near the fuel filler cap on the upper cowl. Is there a smooth, flat surface from windscreen to spinner or is the a bit of a step at the cowl seam?
