Ki-61 made with spitfire plans

[DinosEatPeople1]

Recently I got a c pack with a radial motor and I wanted to make a good flying plane for it. I knew that the FT spitfire is a good flyer and I wanted to make it my own a bit. In my ways I figured that it would be a good idea to make a Ki-61 out of the spitfire.

A picture of a Ki-61 for reference. I started by taking the nose of the spitfire and flipped the nose of the plane. I then made the fuselage with the flipped nose and modified the stabilizers a bit to make it look a bit more scale.

I attached the formers on to the fuselage and then I moved on to the wing.

I am a bit concerned about the wing surface area being big enough. At the moment I need to order rubber bands so the removable wing doesn’t remove itself in flight.

It is only 1.3 pounds or around 600 grams

Beautiful! You should be totally fine with wing loading. Good luck on the maiden and be sure to get video!
