The show was superb - This was my first year participating in this event, I was there both Friday and Saturday with my Top Flite Giant Spitfire. Had a great time flying and meeting a lot of great folks in what was absolutely perfect weather.

Sorry Sysiek, I haven't been a big fan of the turbine planes so I didn't get any pictures of those. I did see them fly several times, I think the yellow/red eurofighter flew the most and it was impressive. It's just hard for them to do much with the wide variety mix of traffic. I'll ask one of the guys I was with if he got any pics and post them if he has them.

Those were the cream of the crop in my opinion from the weekend. Those spits are how a warbird is supposed to look. It takes a lot of work to make a plane look that ugly....in the right way. I was impressed with those spits,and the Zirolli Corsair by Samparfitt. If they ever come up on the market.....look me up

Yes, and I just don't think you can top Chuck's airbrush, etc. skills. Wish I had just a bit of them.

Ram-bro,
Both Spits are painted using latex. Maybe on my next build, an F4F Wildcat, I will go into how I paint an A/C to get it to look like I do. I tend to do things a little different than most.
Anyways, if you are at Muncie or Elkhart Fly-Ins coming up, make sure to stop by and we can chat.
Cheers,
Ham639
