Holy smokes, that thing is awesome!
I know I'll get flamed for this, but a natural metal Spit (perhaps polished up like the Red Bull P-38) would be one heck of an airshow attraction.

Has there ever been a polished Spit? I have seen some painted silver that didn't look half bad, but never a bare aluminum one. |

There are modellers and then there are freaks. What a work of art. He must have devoted his life to it. He should have built one full size. |

Unbelievably beautiful! Wish I knew how to create my favorite warbird with the same quality and attention to detail. |

Here's another very impressive Spitfire model. Although "only" 1/4 scale this one actually flies. Built by Phil Clark at FighterAces.com for owner Ali Machinchy. If only the pilot were in place for the flight shots I believe the illusion would be nearly perfect.

There is a thread on the Keypublishing forum about the 1/4 scale flying model, showing a bit of detail into its build. http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthre ... ight=AR213 I happened to see it on static display at Flying Legends at Duxford and it is an amazing model. |

Your work should be there also.

If you look towards the bottom of this page you'll see a model of the Mk. XIV that was raced at Cleveland in 1949. http://cs.finescale.com/FSMCS/forums/t/ ... geIndex=23 Also, if you scowl down on this page you can see some pictures of the original, plus one in color. http://www.airrace.com/1949%20NAR%20.htm |
