mark31 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 hello with the groupbuild coming closer I just wonder of this kit needs some aftermarket? Looking on the web I found a lot off things. Are ther things that have to be changed on this kit? Im talking about the Tamiya kit. Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 No, not really, Mark. The Barracuda resin enhancements are a good refinement for the cockpit. If you don't like the rubber-like types you can use their wheels too. Don't use Rolls-Royce logos on the cylinder heads as the Mk. XVI used the Packard Merlin... You could also use the Master barrels for the "e"-wing, that'll make the guns look super, although usually the cannon and MG-muzzles would be taped when the guns were loaded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I will second the Barracuda stuff. Really that the only things you need... Oh maybe a set of Harness.. Kit ones are a bit crap.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-Oh-Four Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 These: http://hgwmodels.cz/en/seatbelts/162-spitfire-late-seatbelts-132-132004.html?search_query=spitfire&results=10 I'm not aware of a laser-cut version of them yet, but cutting them out is really not all that difficult. Nope, according to Edgar Brooks those seatbelt were used post-war. During the war the used the old type Sutton seatbelts http://hgwmodels.cz/en/seatbelts/166-spitfire-early-seatbelts-132-132013.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
