im gonna build a Spitfire! 
Many times ive thought on building a Spit.... eg. the "Narvik Nightmare" ( pontoon model) but, but... its a very much buildt plane, and then not so many "challenges" by doin it, its a plain, easy work.....(approx) many plans is there, and instructions on how.
.
Spitfire was started planned already in -31, and developed further to first flight in - 36. Even if had success in WW2, Supermarine found it already was outdated. They came up with some designs , but "of course" the typical conservative English, "we know what we have, its good enough, and production goes on lines.".... and the newer planedesigns was abandoned.
I suddenly found some info on that proposals, eg. the 1942 "Spitfire 2" with a Napier Sabre engine, at that time much more powerful than the R&R motors.
Or info... a 3D drawing scetch then..Its been called Spitfire 2, but nobody is assure on name, the scetch though assign SS who would say Supermarine and Spitfire.
And as ususal.. unique, "unnormal/unknown" airplanes i like much.... and this does really changes the view on Spitfire. It looks perhaps in sideprofil more a prop fighter from the 50-60 , far more modern in many things. Couldnt keep away... and started.
I got the guy shared the scetch, to "refine" it more digitally, for a better view, and bigger resolution.
At least it seems i cant be kept away from the Spit club anymore... im gonna have the newest versjon too...
