Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire IXe

[stona]

The issue of the Roll Royce logo was discussed some time ago on another forum and a strong opinion was expressed that many Mk9's and XVI's did not have it on the rocker covers. I don't think it was ever determined definitely whether they did or not, perhaps some did and some didn't but that may explain why the Tammy kit does not have it.It is a superb kit though and without a doubt the best Spit in any scale and well worth the price.

I suppose the presence or absence of the logo would depend on the aircraft or engines whichTamiya's people looked at. I've definitely seen war time pictures of Merlin engines without the logo.

I quite agree that the Tamiya 1/32 kits are the best Spitfire kits money can buy, in any scale.

I was having a patriotic moment.

Agree that the Tamiya 1/32ths are great but I have the new Eduard in the stash and that's supposed to be rather good as well.... We will see.
