Thanks Dennis. I'm pleased you like it.

Thanks again Peter!

Thank you Peter. I'm glad you like it.

All done: https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19631-spitfire-mk-viii-rfi/

Ready for inspection. The Tamiya 1/32 Spitfires, Corsairs, etc are all a pleasure to build. This one was no exception. It went together very well and needed very little filler. I used the Quinta cockpit set and Barracuda wheels. Painted mostly with Xtracolor. Decals are a combination of one's that come with the Kagero Topcolors book on the Mk VIII, kit decals, and some from my stash. I hope y'all like it. As always please click on the first photo for best resolution and to view as a slide show. THANKS!

Thanks Dennis. Xtracolor is good modeling paint for sure. Too bad it's not available here in the US.

Finished painting the Xtracolor (GREAT paint!) so next I'll get started with the decals.

Wow! Looks interesting!

Thanks Peter.

Today's progress so far. I'll attach the engine assembly and cowlings next.

Tamiya Phil. You can't go wrong with theirs. The Revell is okay but I'm not familiar with the others.

Sounds like it's about time for another Spitfire build Phil.

A unbeatable combination!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Here's where I am today on this build. Now I'm just waiting for the Quinta cockpit set from SB to get here which should be Friday or Saturday. Get the lead out USPO.

It'll be a beauty when finished Carl and I look forward to seeing it.

Thanks Peter. Right now I'm waiting for the Quinta cockpit set from SB to arrive so I'm working on other areas of the build. Nearly finished with the wings, the prop/spinner, and landing gear are done.

Agreed Carl. Should make a attractive model.

I figure it's about time for another Spitfire build. Tamiya's Mk VIII is another one of their outstanding kits and I know it will be a enjoyable build. I will be using the Kagero Top Colors for this one also and a Quinta cockpit set. Stay tuned.

Thank you!!!!

Getting there for sure Peter.

Thanks! Took a fair amount of whipping too! LOL

Thank you Peter. I tried to be careful on the "weathering" as it's so easy to over do it. The chipping/wear areas on the wing roots was especially tedious. But I'm pleased with the results. LOL

Looking good Peter. Outstanding work.
