airpasta,

Sorry to hear about the Avistar. That plane is a good looking plane. Can't answer your question about the Spitfire flying characteristics but I'm also looking for a warbird plane. I think the Texan was a trainer and never saw combat as a plane, so I don't know if they consider this a "warbird"?

I know that GWS carries a Spitfire but Hobby-Lobby has a version too and it looks more to scale.
