Good reminder Struts, for me to dig out the 1/4 Spit plans, and see who made them. I have all the templates on the bench, so can lay them out this weekend, and figure out what a short kit will run! Love any Spit build, so I'm in for sure to see Randy's bird. I've got 3 now, the TF Spit, the Dave Platt 1/5th, then the 1/4. One of the larger ones will be Buzz Beurling's last Mk IX, and I might do a .60 sized build of his Mk V. The other larger one, I'm still trying to decide. I like Johnnie Johnson's Mk IX, and I was honoured enough to meet the man, many years ago. Hence my wanting to do Galland's Me-109, and his ME-262, as I met him once as well. Great advantage having been posted to Germany for 4 years!

Excellent. Broke out the templates for the 1/4 Spit, cut half of the fuse bulkheads last night. Soon as I win the lottery, I'll figure out engine and retracts! lol

I'm in as well, have tons of documentation, if I can help at all, let me know.

Hi Guys

Did you guys know that it,s the Spit-Fire,s birthday to-day

On 5 March 1936,[22] the prototype (K5054) took off on its first flight from Eastleigh Aerodrome

Ever see the 1:1 scale of K5054, it was done in Europe, flew with a Jaguar V-12 in it. Sadly, after a bad landing, but with minimal damage, while the pilot was making arrangements to have it towed, the airport folks came out and sawed it in half, to get it clear of the runway. Tragic. Hmm, maybe once I do the 1:1 Hurricane project for the Shearwater Museum, someone will commission me to do a Spit. Sigh.

Awesome, look forward to seeing your progress. I have the 83" BT Spitfire short kit from Bob Holliman waiting for a future build, in the mean time I've been gathering information on the BT builds and summarized it here at http://spitfire9.com/btbuild.htm

I plan to use a DL50/55
cheers!

Some parts will be on thier way here at weeks end.
