Great job so far! I like the forward fuse mods and the wing construction. Very well done!

WOW! I want one Amazing work. Really need to learn how fibreglass planes like this too.

Thats awesome.. I hope to see it flying at Flite Fest.. I didnt get to see any of the 200% spitfires fly... And this one looks really nice. Wing fairings make a plane look so much faster.. Nice work.

Yes! I love it!

 

[MikeJM]

I think I will make Flitefest

Here are my completed pics. This bugger was a lot of work.

Enjoy

Wow, what a coincidence, I've just started messing with a set of Spitfire balsa plans in Sketchup.

Did you use any set plans other than the 3 view in one of your pictures?

Did you use Depron? Or peel the paper of the DTFB?

Great work by the way!

 

[MikeJM]

I used the 200% plans and then used that 3 view for reference once I started making modifications.

I accidentally maidened her today. I'm uploading a video to youtube atm.

oh, I used Depron
