Whoa! This is just a place for discussion and opinions...
My experience with VMar's 45-60 Spit is as follows:
Cowl is heavy with lots of cracks and chips in the paint.
Engine thrust line had to be altered.
Hardware scrapped.
Nice guide tubes for pushrods.
Nice pushrod exit fairings on tail.
Though pinned-questionable hinges.
Slightly less than average wing fit.
Badly warped primary firewall-scrapped.
Wood is... obeechee? Not what most are used to seeing-seems punky.
Excellently detailed covering which straightens right out with low heat.
Canopy, pilot, and cockpit very nice.

Having an engineering and problem solving background with five or six years modeling experience, I made some changes. I used Sullivan golden rods in place of the tail pushrods with 2-56 golden clevises. They fit perfectly in the pre-installed guide tubes. Made a new primary firewall and altered the height of the thrust line-had to. Epoxied all stress points from the back of the wing saddle forward-a common practice for ARFers.
I am also in the process of installing retracts which will operate as the full size Spit. I made a radio mast to be mounted behind the canopy on the turtle-deck. I am also in the process of making an in-cowl pitts style muffler for the TT Pro .61 hanging at the seven-o-clock position.

The first one I ordered had a lot of shipping damage and was lost by the shipping co. during the return voyage. Second one had very minor shipping damage and was kept. In my opinion the contents are not packaged very well for shipping.

Overall I rate the following on a scale of one to ten-ten being excellent:
Overall fit and function of everything......7.5
Construction and materials used............6.5
Scale appearance and dimensions.........9
Chances of me buying another..............4

Given what I paid, what I got isn't all that bad. (Even though I berated VMar in the past.)

As far as the other VMar products I cannot comment except for the rave reviews the GMS .47 and other GMS engines have received.

BTW, if it flies well the chances of me buying another may increase.
