TamiyaModels Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I Model Kit

A superb kit from Tamiya. This appears to be a new tooling. There is much more detail compared with earlier versions of the Mk1. The kit includes finishes to produce one of three different examples of this Battle of Britain era airplane. Also its important to note that both photo-etch components and canopy masking stickers are included in the kit and therefore do not need to be purchased separately. This makes this kit excellent value for money.

Trop simple

Perfecto

It's superb quality. If all you've ever built are Revell models, you're in for a pleasant surprise. These kits are so clean, I have yet to find slag on even the smallest parts. I enjoy working with this type of plastic as it's softer and more pliable than others I've worked with. I counted approximately 58 pieces. After building the Mosquito this looks really stripped down but I can't wait to dig into it. Tamiya kits are a little more spendy but they're very well worth what you pay. I started building models when I was a kid, I thought it was fun then but with all the choices we have available today through company's like Tamiya it's even more fun. I have a lot of time on my hands (being retired) and one day my grandson will inherit a fleet of display quality aircraft, I hope he enjoys them as much as I did building them.

タイトルは大陸伝来のモデルの箱にあったものです(斗、だったかも)。すごい訳ですね。　さて、オールドファッションな塗装が楽しめる「噴火」Mk.Iであります。B-SCHEMEは初めてです。塗装例が二つありまして。写真でおなじみ、その文字とラウンデル最大を誇る(でも主翼下面にラウンデルは無しと)DW◎Oか、左翼下面のみ真っ黒の(理由は何でしょう)QJ◎Bか悩むところです。「なにをお悩みある。もう一つお買い求めいただければ貴殿のお悩みなどたちどころに雲散霧消いたしましょう」。それはそうなんですが。　ところで、ここに好例がありますので積年の疑問を掲げて皆様のご教授を賜りたく。それは胴体右側の部隊名の配列についてです。QJ◎Bの右側はB◎QJとなっておりますがDW◎Oでは右側もDW◎Oを保っております。この配列の違いはいかなる規定に基づくものでありましょうか。図版などで好ましき塗装を見ても反対側に不安要素があってはなかなか実践とは参りません。各部隊の気まぐれ？いやいや、イギリスという国は紋章にはことに厳しいと聞き及びます。なにかしらルールがあると思うのですが。
