1/48 Tamiya Spitfire MK.I ( new tooled )

[F-104nut]

Been itching to build a Spitfire lately and recently pciked up the re issues with the 10-hp Vehical. I have some spare Tamiya figurs that i use in a diorama . Cockpit apinted with Tamiya RAF interior green mix and bare metal area i used the Tamiya LP-11 silver . I used the kit provided instrument decals that went on really nice . Ill be building mine in the markings of the RAF Wittering based out of Cambridge , England. I chose this scheme as for i use to live near Cambridge from 83-86 .

Fine work. Stopped by too late to suggest painting the butt ends of the flares in the seat rack a brass colour.
