1/32 Tamiya Spitfire MkXVIe RACER 6

G Day folks,

This is, IMHO, the sleekest of all Merlin powered Spitfires, Supermarine Spitfire MkXVIe RACER 6. Cooper Air Race July 1949. I used Lifelike decals 32-011 and Barracuda post war 3 slots wheels with circumferential thread.

I mainly used Tamiya paints that already provide the exact colors for standard RAF camos.

The appearance, once finish, looks like a pure breed racer.

Cheers
