When we first saw the announcement that Tamiya would be releasing a large scale Spitfire we eagerly awaited the modelling treat ahead. As more and more information about the kit began to emerge, there was little doubt that Tamiya had gone to extraordinary lengths to produce an excellent kit of an excellent aircraft. Based on the philosophy that 'it's good to share' Spencer and I split this project between us. I have built 90% of the model as subassemblies, painting internal parts where appropriate. Spencer then takes over for the final part of the work, putting my subassemblies together and applying the final paintwork and decals. I acted as the chief scribe whilst Spencer completed the model. Having spent some time looking through the instructions, you will see that several of the stages can be tackled in any order you wish. Much of the build is modular with the sub-assemblies brought together at the appropriate time. However, I will take you through the build, step-by-step as it appears in the instructions book.
