Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire flaps question.


Recommended Posts

Heyo guys,

 

Has anyone here built the Tamiya 1/32 spitfire.  I’m at the stage of the instructions where it calls for the flaps to be installed.  I really don’t want to install them yet, as I want them installed in the down position and the wings aren’t mated to the fuselage yet.  If I install them now it will make painting and the rest of the assembly a real witch.  If I install them later, will I run into trouble?  I’m worried about the PE that comes w/ the kit, and that it might not fit later. 

 

Thank you, David.

Looking back through my build log, it looks like I installed mine near the end after painting and didnt seem to have any issues. I built mine right after it cale out so I don’t really remember any details from building it. 

Here is my log. https://www.martinsammodels.com/Webpage/Pages/Models/My models/pages/Spitfire/32nd/building/32nd.htm
