Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire VIII

By Tim Gemmel

This was the first LSP I completed a couple years ago, and probably when I caught the 1/32 bug. Most of my models were 1/48th before this one. Also, one of my first with masked markings, and I screwed up the squadron code which is why the MM is present.

Aftermarket used:

• Maketar Masks
• Quinta studios interior set
• HGW seatbelts
• Quickboost exhaust stubs

---

Paints are all MRP Lacquers.

Barracuda Decals were used for the nose art and stencils.

I used ABT 502 oils for most of the exhaust effects.
