So here is an update post of the FT Spitfire "Battle of Britain" skins:
This skin kit includes some modification from the original plans. A very "Spitfire like" canopy with an extended upper turtle deck is included for that ture Spitfire look. Open areas on the front and back of the fuse as well as the bottom of the wings have been extended to allow for wrapping around the edges of the foam for a cleaner look. The extra plan parts complete the skin as an entire set of plans. There are even extra plan parts to cut out that you can place them directly on the foam to mark score and reference points. I still have two parts to tweek but it should only take an hour or so. I will Hopefully have a mock up by this weekend.
And here's a little plug for my skin printing service
www.FlitSkins.com
When available, the Spitfire will be 24X119 inches not including a separate complete set of plans (another 75 more inches of printed goodness) that will accompany it. That's over 32 sq ft of printed RC warbird joy for $24 shipped to your door. That's 75 cents a sq ft. Compare that to $5 a sq ft at FedEx. You don't even have to leave the house!
Lastly you can rest assured that all the proceeds go right back into this crazy RC hobby. Well, after I pay off this monster printer that is.
