Nice looking model. I might try this one some day.

She was pretty lite for a larger bird because before I added the clay. Typical Spitfire needed a lot of weight up front and painted with rubber ready for flight currently weighs 94 grams. I will build this complete series but on my next builds I may leave off painting. So far she flies great with kit supplied rubber and prop combo.

Super nice job. Have you test glided your model yet? I have built and flew a 400 series ZERO at around 100 grams flying weight. I also have the frames built for a LC 405 Warhawk.It's frames weigh out at 31 grams. How much does your Spitfire weigh ?

Blends in well. If the lawn we not so well manicured (like mine) it wouldjust about blend in. Nice build.

Just make sure you know exactly where on the field it lands. With that camo scheme take your eyes off of it for a moment and it might disappear!

Not happy with this build but I do have another Guillows Laser cut Spitfire for the future. This one weighs close to 100 grams with balanced and rubber added, trim flights look good so far. I did remove the tail wheel and spinner for the flights

I was being lazy and used Design Master spray paint, lifted badly when masked and looks too orange. I should have used my airbrush and thinned Testors paint. I sure do miss the old Pactra Military Dope colors.

All covered in a matter of hours using thinned white glue. Will dope with Sig lite cote.

The kit Silkspan is great, cover wet with 2 pieces for the entire fuselage.

Building one of the high quality lasr cut kits from Guillows, right out of the box for freeflight on rubber. The laser cut parts go together fast with quality balsa.
