Here are some pictures of Tamiya's 1:32 scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX. The model was built from the box and the markings airbrushed using Mal's Miracle Masks.

Awesome job J-L. I constantly hear all the hype about this kit, but when you see it put together like you've done here, the hype is justified.

Cheers, D
