davevw Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 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 sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
