Scale. Bush plane. With large wheels. Check check check. This is a fairly unknown spitfire prototype.

to quote my first post "I'm really picky and planes in this thread will need to be based off a full-size plane, not just a high-wing plane you stuck bigger tires on."
Ummm that's pretty much what ALL bush planes are: full sized with big tires. The reason you dont go low wing is that you tend to bend the wing on assorted tree stumps, rocks or gulleys.

It says in your signature that you have a Citibria in your hanger. When was this made? I am very interested in Citibria's at the moment.
here:
My citabria? Its scale and irl it can fly in the backcountry, so I'd say it can go here
It will be more scale once I add paint

Why not? If someone is goofy enough to put really huge tires on it, Let them document that. Fwiw if you ever watch WW2 brit documentary stuff the fields they launch spits off of ain't smoother than a gravel spit on a river. They bounce enough to be going across the plowed furrows sideways.

I think you're showing obvious discrimination practices for the not quite abled.
