FOREWORD AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

TAMIYA’S 1:48 SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE Mk.I
W
hen Tamiya released their
1:32 scale Spitfire Mk.IXc in
2009, they set a new standard
for plastic model kits. As
one of the most popular subjects in the
history of scale modelling, we should not
be surprised to find that Tamiya has now
released an all-new Spitfire kit in 1:48 scale.
Tamiya’s brand new 1:48 scale Spitfire
Mk.I delivers innovative design, outstanding
detail, an accurate outline and crisp, subtle
surface textures.
This model has nothing at all in common
with their 1993 kit.
Between these covers, we provide
an exhaustive step-by-step illustrated
guide to building Tamiya’s 1:48 scale
Spitfire Mk.I straight from the box plus
tips on painting and weathering. Plenty
of inspiration is offered with two different
configurations plus a conversion to the
Photo Reconnaissance version with models
by Marcus Nicholls and myself.
Also included are a walkaround of the
oldest surviving Spitfire Mk.I, a summary
of other Spitfire Mk.I model kits available
in 1:48 scale, a list of available decals for
Spitfires Mk.I and Mk.II plus a catalogue of
helpful
references.
Any
modelling book is an ensemble effort
and
this title is no exception. I would like to
extend
my sincere appreciation to Marcus
Nicholls,
whose wonderful Spitfire appears
on
these pages.
Alex
Hall has once again waved his
magic
layout wand for to deliver the
attractive
final appearance of the book -
thanks
Alex.
We
are very grateful to Tamiya Japan for
providing the
kits built in this book.
I
would also like to thank Eduard, Yahu
and
Hannants for the aftermarket items
used
here.
