RE: Electric 1/4 Spitfire MK1A full composite

RE: Electric 1/4 Spitfire MK1A full composite

Absolutely incredible...detail on that door and gunsight is surpassed only by David Glen's 1/5 scale model. And, of course, his is not a "flyer". So, all I can say is wow! Impressive.

And more...

Has anyone heard more about the status of this model. Seems my earlier concerns have been confirmed - the link is cold no further information. The mysterious "ALI" has absconded with the plugs and...

Tetsa/Jukka
Glad to see you boys back on the trail!
