Excellent build Ian, and yes, you can never have too many Spitfires.\ said:Thanks Dave. There are lots of Spitfires, I'll give you that but the Spitfire is one of the most popular aircraft and you can never have too many Spitfires.Ian M
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.\ said:Ian I think this is the first one of these I have seen built, apart from magazine examples. Stunning detail and beautifully put together but I have to admit to being surprised at spending around 100 quid then having to buy after market stuff to get the Rolls Royce name on the rocker covers!The bottom line is really, do you think it is good value for money when you think you could get five other Tamiya kits of a pretty good standard and size for the same money?
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.\ said: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.
