The balsa is decent, and you are dead on about those plans. Thanks DD. I appreciate the help. The wife is all healed from her surgery, I am getting stagnant. Take care. |

You are correct.:-) Confusion is certainly understandable with this kit! I love West Wings kits but the instructions are not easy to comprehend and are the construction is certainly not the standard Guillows fare. Still, I think it looks much better than theirs. |

Dave this is my next build. I have a question on that W-1 rib. The kit has 2 W-1 ribs, and the plans show that the wing sections are assembled with only the W-2 rib and somehow it all comes together later. Your build if I am correct uses a double rib on the inboard for the wing assemblies and one more W-1 for the root rib on the body assembly. Did I get that correct? You made 4 extra W-1s? Thanks in advance. Confused in Florida. |

Yup. Bubble canopy and cut down rear deck. This is a great build. |

Great article. Imagine digging up these planes. Hope they were wrapped well. |

Not sure if everyone had seen this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/9203822/Spitfires-buried-in-Burma-during-war-to-be-returned-to-UK.html

Of course it's a MK 1 used in front line in 1940 and for training early 1941.
It's a realy good photo. |

Hm. For a colour photo of this time pretty good quality ... This looks like a Spitfire Mk. I ..? |

It looks as if I used 1/2" stock for the fill. |

For universal. I will need to see the plans to give you an answer. If you click on the "build thread" at the top left of this image you'll get all the photos I took during construction. Perhaps they will be of some help. The instructions are a bit difficult to comprehend in parts. |

I believe I got it from ebay. It is available from shortysbasement.com for $39.50. |

Did you have to order this kit from the UK David? |

Hey David, GlasgowM&H have a question on the nose of this model. Mike, Harrison, ask David your question here, I'm sure he can help, or at least point you in the right direction. |
David Duckett, Comment for image # 20624 | 08 Jan 11 16:55 |
I'm fine, thanks. This is just disgusting! |
