Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XVIe - Final Reveal

Spitfire XVIe Final Reveal

Here are the pictures of my completed 1/32 Spitfire XVIe.  The fit of the Tamiya kit is great but my modification of the engine did not help matters.  Putting in the spark plug wiring pushed a few bits ever so slightly out of alignment making the fit of the cowlings somewhat snug.  The Eduard photo etch added a lot to the cockpit.  The Brass gun barrels from master were a bit problematic getting them to fit.  They're a bit too tight.  I am happy with the result.  it certainly looks like a Spitfire.  I just wish I was small enough to jump in it and fly it around.

Here's a few with the flash on.
