Well, with my MK II being near to completion, I cannot resist to the temptation to begin a new Spitfire: this time it will be a Spitfire MK XVI. Not the aircraft of Raymond Lallemand (with British cockades) as I first envisaged to build, but another aircraft of the 350 (Belgian) Sqn, this time bearing Belgian cockades, at the end of 1945!
Kit is Italeri, in fact I think it's the mold from Occidental. Not perfect at all, there is a strange line across the wings that will have to disappear. fitting trials let to think that some work is awaiting me... I will use Eduard PE, and of course Syhart decals.
The kit was bought on eBay.co.uk a couple of years ago. Sounds that the box made a close encounter with water, and the parts were partially removed from sprue. But kit is complete; decals did not suffered from water - and as I will use Syhart ones, that would finally not have been a problem!
First work is the removing of som wing panels. As you can see on the photos, the good one (provided in the box) is inverted, due to the position of the gun in the wing. The new panel is fixed by 4 little dots only, so I reinforced with Evergreen.
I've also glued first PE elements...
