Well, this one should be finished by now & I hope to god that he hasn't crashed it. A plus point is the scale prop with three blades, something that a lot of good models lack & impairs
jesus christ that is the finest looking plane i have ever seen and it ant even finished oh and yea spitfire are amazing they were a huge contribution in taking down the german bombers
Good question! In fact, the goal is to let the model look like the real one hence "scale". So if it does look like metal to you the builder has done a good job!
But in this video it is pretty obvious that it's no metal, but plywood, balsa and probably Epoxy/glass fuselage.
By the way, never thought you could be rated for a bad comment for asking a noob question like a lot are who don't have this hobby... weird...
hi guys I'm looking for a detailed construction plan of a spitfire mk I or V or IX, possibly free :-). The spitfire plans available on internet are not really on scale and too simple. I want to build a big static version in balsa and aluminium thanks for the help
I take my hat off to you mate! Your dedication is first class. Wish I had the patience and skill! It also sounds like your wife is right behind you great stuff. However I would be too scared to fly the thing after spending so much time building it. Most of the clips I see are of hours of dedicated work ending up as matchwood! I wish you all the best with it and keep us all posted.
Yes, he is slowly progressing, engine has been run-in and working sliding canopy added, wings ready to be fiberglassed. Should have a new video clip update in coming months.
Any update on the build??!!! Keeping an eye on this but wondering where it is up to. Big project I know as my Clark Spitfire kit has not progressed at all for a LOONNGG time!
I had a kit I bought from someone around the same size, certainly not as detailed as this one, and in the process of building it, I mutilated some of the fiberglass cowling with my dremel. That thing was hard to put together anyway. It was from a British manufacturer, and the instructions were terrible.
very nice plane u said that the build time at the start was 7 months thats a lot of time and what a pretty looking spifire you have done a there great job best i have seen on yet , can u please tell me whats the best model make u can get when u are starting out on this type of thing because i dont know any thing about this , i would like something big but not the size of that like the length of the wing and so i can let it take of from the ground, not throw
Hows it progressing?

Another thing, if you haven't done so, DO NOT SHEET ANY CONTROL SURFACES.

Dam i acendentally posted this early.
The real spitfire had fabric over the metal surfaces to reduce the weight so the surfaces could still be moved at high speeds.
This will look much more scale.
