I remember studying that article myself. The way he did the cockpit and canopy was used a lot back then and it fascinated me. It also bucked trends with the conventional landing gear. Everything then was trike. If you would send the article to me I would appreciate it. My email is [email protected].

I just got the magazine for another model that really interested me. It was in the January 1976 issue of Model Builder. The model was flown in the 1975 Worlds by the designer Tore Paulsen. It was a Pattern Spitfire. I got in to pattern at the very end of 1975 with a Lanier Jester. I spent that winter building a Phoenix VI but almost built that Spitfire. Unfortunately Bill Northrop recently passed away and I'm not sure of the status of all the Model Builder plans he sold. I'm sure at some time they will become available again and I'll have to get that Spitfire.
