1/32 Tamiya Spitfire

MkXVI

This is the definitive Spitfire model. It has to be one of the best, if not THE best, model on the market today. The second in Tamiya's line of outstanding 1/32nd WWII kits, and the third of the spitifre series.

The features are to numerous to count: complete merlin engine with full firewall detail, moveable canopy, moveable control surfaces, positionable radiator exhaust doors,

 positionable flaps, real rubber tires, magnetic engine panels that can be removed and reinstalled after completion, drop tank can be installed

and removed after completion, landing gear can be switched from down to up after completion, and the stand is connected to a second drop tank so you can't tell

where it fits when the model is sitting on its wheels. included are two bombs and 2 figures.

There are markings for three different aircraft:

TB900, 349 SQN, Summer 1945

TB625, 486 Sqn, Summer 1945

TE203, No.1 Refresher Flying Unit, Mar 1949
