RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
Hi Steve,
I sent a PM to join the Brotherhood.
I've posted a couple of photos of my TopFlte Spitfire, and here's a couple more.
The plane was build with no significant changes to the frame. I did add some cockpit details, chin scoop, my own blisters on the wings, and some slight shaping to the underside wing fairings. The plane is glassed using West Systems epoxy. Panel lines and rivets were added in the primer, and the plane is painted with outdoor latex for the camo, Master Model and Humbrol paints for the markings and inkjet wet transfer decals for some of the smaller markings and clear coated with polyurethane. It's powered by an RCV 90SP engine which I used because of it's slender profile and ability to turn a 15.5 x 12 4 blade APC Prop. Cooling is aided by the addition of a small ducted fan inside the cowl. The plane is painted as MK732 as it was in about 1950. It was (and still is) owned by the Royal Nethernlands Air Force, and still flys today. The last time I heard, it was painted in a later scheme which is all silver color.
