Can I have this on my christmas list?

Post by Tango589 »

The Aussies are building spitfires in kit form! :o

All I need now are the skills to build it, the money to afford it and the pilots license to fly it. So, not much then :roll:
All I want is a pair of wings.

hi I was lucky enough to see one of these spits at the jamestown air show 18 months ago.They are 3/4 scale but you could not tell untill it was parked beetween a kittyhawk and a mustang.I'd only gone up to look at the kittyhawk the spit proved to be an added bonus.Looks verry good in the air.

According to the website the Mk26 is 80%, while the new model for this year, the Mk26B, is 90%.

I rather like the lines of the earlier models; I wonder why they chose that one - the wingtips are pointed, and the fin nearly so, in contrast to the beautiful lines of the MkI to IX.

Hmm, wandering further through the website, I find some more classic lines, not sure if the difference is between the 26 and 26B, or if individual planes can be fitted with either the regular or pointed (high altitude) wing... I see no one has chosen the fast-roll clipped wing though!

I've been searching google for the past hour and have found NOTHING on a 109 kit =(

My dreams of someday owning one have been crushed!

Can't seem to find out much else about it.

Real or fake would be good. I'd have to find somewhere to park it though. Too big for the garage ;)
