I'm afraid I haven't seen the instructions so I can't say. Mine arrived at home two days after I left!!
All I'm saying is that Tamiya XF paint is flat and Tamiya X paint is gloss. What ever the instructions say I would paint the Mae West flat as it was covered in a canvas material. | |

Well Richard you have made your mind up to follow the instructions exactly so now you have to make your mind up what to do if they are wrong!!!
My suggestion would be not to follow the instructions exactly or, more to the point, amend them as you see fit. That is what modelling is all about. | |

| thats why i am following the instructions exactly, to find errors and differences.i think everyone else is doing their own little thing so i thought i would do it this way to see what a basic kit is like. 9my tamiya enzo is far from basic, a month into the works and still a long way to go...everything that could be simple in that kit has been made twice has complicated..!!! i love it!!! | |

| ok, apart from the first 2 instructions eroors this kit is great!
Yes it may be easy and very simple but it does the spitfire justice. this is the first model plane i have made in about 5 years, and the first tamiya.
the big problem i always had before was the fuleslages not connecting properly or flush. but this, not a gap to be seen!!!
i know it only a small thing and even if there were gaps they could be filled in, but to save all that hastle!!!
excellant! | |

| does anyone else find when building aircraft, the instructions always tell you to put on the little bits that are painted different colours to the fuleslage at the begining...i know i am ment to be doing this exactly to the instructions but i think iv given up on that idea!
...so il leave all the little bits and the canopy till the end. | |
