Just finished this tamiya 1:48 spitfire! It’s such a lovely kit with brilliant fit. I can’t use an airbrush so had some issues with paint texture but I’m happy with the outcome and had fun building it :) View of the spitfire seat and seatbelts

    Came out looking nice! Recently built an eduard one but will probably pick up this kit in the near future to compare it to.

    Which paint did you use, since you had some issues with the texture?

      Thanks! It was a toss up between this and the eduard kit for me. How did you find it? Top of the craft is revell enamel paint so I didn’t have too much issues. However I foolishly used tamiya paint on the bottom which I discovered is more for air brushing. I managed to get some paint retarder but it still didn’t look quite right :(
