That looks like a pain in the arse. I like the color scheme tho. I just finished building two Pietenpol Air Campers. One with the new DTFB and one with Ross.
I was going to build another Spit as mine took a dirt nap, but... Dang it...you're making me want to assemble another Cessna. I think that I'd do the landing gear differently, however.
I may just stay "tuned in" and live vicariously for the moment.
