Default RE: spitfire arf..

It's a Will Hobby. I have one that turned out fairly well, it lacks in some areas. I made a servo tray and moved the rear control servos back to the trailing edge of the wing, it shortened the rods considerably and helped move the balance to where I wanted it. The servo tray was glassed in with resin and glass, not epoxy. I also glassed the inside of the firewall with resin and chopped glass as mine was really flakey in that area. I used mechanical retracts, a real bear to get right. I shot mine with clear satin Rustolum (sp?), caution is needed to spray lightly and wait after the preceeding coat is dry or the bottom color will react and bubble up.
I have an OS 120 AX on mine and it's really cool on a high-speed pass with the gear up. Mine is in American Markings like many that were used in Italy by the USAAF.

Crummy Directions but worth the price if you go a little extra in effort.
