discussion Tonys Italeri 1/48 Spitfire mk XVI

[yak face]

A bit late to the party but now the Typhoon and La 7 are done I can clear the decks for this . Got this at a bargain price , its a rebox of the Occidental kit which itself was a revision of their earlier mk IX kit . Its had some scathing reviews questioning the accuracy etc but I’m not worried too much - if it looks really wrong I’ll try and sort it otherwise I couldn't give a monkeys if its 0.5 mm too short in the fuselage etc etc .
I needed some 1/48 belts so ended up with the Eduard Space set which although designed for the Eduard kit will still be useful for the belts and instrument panels .
Anyways heres the sprue shots

An interesting choice with the Italeri, have you decided on the colour scheme or still thinking on it,

Good question neil , originally I thought the box art scheme but then the belgian and french schemes are rarely seen so they are a consideration too , cheers tony
