Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XVI, Converted to a XIV

By John Kim

This is my recently completed Spitfire Mk.XIVe using the Laminar Flow Design conversion set and the Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire Mk.XVIe kit.


I also threw in LFD's cockpit details, a raft of Barracuda Studios Spitfire upgrades, Master brass gun barrels and an HGW fabric seatbelt harness.


Major markings were painted using custom cut masks from the Portrait craft cutter. Maintenance stencils were from Aviaeology.


The complete build log can be found in my thread in the Work in Progress forum.


Final model photography using Canon 5D Mk IV with EF 24-105 f/4L IS processed in Adobe Lightroom.

Enjoy!
