Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire Mk IXc

By Vivian Watts

This was a giant project, and I aimed to expand my comfort zone with new products and techniques. Much has been said about this kit, so I won't go into detail, but it is, together with Tamiya's 1:32 P-51, the best kits I've ever built. Well worth $100.

Extras Used

• Scratch built cockpit and engine plumbing
• Barracuda cannon blisters
• Barracuda Cockpit Upgrade set
• Barracuda Seat
• HGW fabric seat belts
• HGW wet transfer stencils
• Maketar wing roundel masks (but Tamiya decals for fuselage markings)
• Iconicair Rolls Royce name plates

Paints and Colours Used
