Spitfire Mk.I trim mechanism

Thu Feb 12, 2015 2:37 pm

This may be a bit far fetched but I'm giving it a try anyway.
I'm currently Building a 1:7 balsa Spitfire Mk.IXc (modifying it to a Mk.Ia) It was originally a radio controled but I've decided to turn it into a display model with as many details as possible which should be doable with that scale.
I've made the elevators and rudder including the stabilizors and cut out the trim tabs but I need Pictures showing the trim tab mechanism.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Do a Google search for "Spitfire Walkaround" and you will find links to many, many detailed pictures of every imaginable portion of the Spitfire. Some samples to get you started.

If that doesn't get you what you need shoot me an email and I will send you some scale drawings.

The request is still valid. Unfortunately Chad wasn't able to help.

Now that I'm at it, I'm also looking for Pictures / drawings of the .303 machineguns and the ammo feed, including the gun bays.
