I have thought a few times of making a 1:1 scale Spitfire. But I haven’t a garage big enough. I have some council grass next to my house which would nicely fit it for display. But then some bugger would complain about it for sure.

That is aeromodelling on a whole new scale! Really nice shape and finish. One needs to have a real passion and a lot of different skills to pull something off like that! Maybe you should organize a collection to get him onto the real Spitfire ;)

Excellent find cliff .. my p51b mustang is Jan Zumbach’s steed from raf brenzett polish 303 Before the squadron was equipt with this spitfire ..the nose art is Donald Duck and is represented on one of the bbmf spitfires .. Jan made it through the war as an ace with the polish medal of valour amongst other medals.. he claimed the first attack on the first fw190 encounter .. I believe in the 70s he was employed as a smuggler pilot across borders and was shot he lost his life to a rival smuggler ..

Old mate Jan Zumbach, whose AC this is, had a varied life after the war which included gun running and all sorts of contraband and he wrote a book about it, an interesting read.. The book tells of one episode where he had a plane full of self winding watches hidden under the floor. When he landed the watches had all wound from the vibration of the plane and were making a huge racket, I don't remember how he got out of that one though.

Awesome project! But I better not let my girlfriend see this one! The lengths of "copper pipe" that you point out at 8m 14s are strengthening plates over the wheel well. Some of the earlier Spitfires did have them, but later on they strengthened the skin in that area. The BBMF Spitfire Mk.IIa has them.

Is the Spitfire a man flyable airplane or a R.C. model?

6:15 with prop blades that thin and flat, this is not RC much less piloted. This is for static display only.

@richardbrowne3641 2 ай бұрын

@envitech02 Oh, okay. I have seen 70% scale man flyable replicas. I thought maybe yours was 60% scale like W.A.R. Replicas. W.A.R. Replicas sell plans for $900.00-1,100.00 U.S.. Most everything you need to build their airplanes will be provided at your local Hardware stores here in America. I don't know what the U.K. has for Hardware stores.
