What about the Hangar 9 new Spitfire, It looks real nice.

The TF spit is very plain looking, lacking many details. I'd probably go with H9 but I have no flight time on either.

Personally speaking and I do mean PERSONALLY, I would steer clear of all Hangar 9 models. Seems like their quality is going down hill. Have just finished up there Christen Eagle II and would never purchase another Hangar 9 model.

The Spitfire from H-9 is very nice, I'm building it now.

The only thing I can find so far as a negative is there is a slight and I mean VERY SLIGHT mismatch between the covering and cowl paint.

The UltraCote is printed matte finish camo with the markings and panel lines already printed on and there's 2 sets of markings, and 2 rudders (the rounded and pointed) so you can customize to an extent.

The E-Flite electric retracts are awesome, and its designed for a 33GX which I've had excellent luck with in my Beaver.

The hangar 9 spitfire looks like the best one out there right now. I would like to get one but I have too many planes.
