Cheers Rob Thank you Rob! I like it too. There are a couple of little things to add yet but it's mostly done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Very nice John. Made me look in the stash at what Tamiya Spitfires I had left. I knew I had a pair of the XVIs but was surprised to find a IX too. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The Spit is coming along in the usual neat and clean way, I’ve heard that Covid does take awhile to get over, stay well John…… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Thanks Phil. Trying to stay the course. Made more progress on the Spit. Engine is next (closed cowling). 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 John Looking mighty good - your progress is phenomenal! Of the two Tamiya Spits I've done, one is with the Merlin hanging out in the wind and the other Spit, closed cowling. Even though it's nice to look at the Merlins, she Spit looks better with the engine cowling closed up. Keep 'em comin Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my earlier builds, a MK IX, has the engine exposed with added plumbing, etc. Just not my cup of tea as I prefer the closed cowling look. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
