Default The complete YELLOW AIRCRAFT SPITFIRE thread.

Well Guys,
I think it is high time the Y/A Spitfire had a new thread dedicated to it where every one who is interested in this wonderful model can find lots of great information,,,, contributed by YOU.
Many of you I'm sure have had dealings with the Spitty so post your advise, displeasures, pictures and wants and needs right here and hopefully wil can stir up some interest and get some more of these things in the air.
I have no affiliation with Y/A at all. I just love the model and think it is 'undermodeled' and want to see more of them.
I will be using this thread as my build thread for a bubble canopy conversion of the MK XIV that I have committed to purchase from Marty at http://www.jetfx.net/. (Just waiting on final quote) I have already purchased the conversion kit and undercarrage from Leo at http://www.spychallaaircraft.com/ and will have delivery in the near future.
I will be modelling a 451 or 453 squadron RAAF MKXIV Spitty used late in the war.
I have started a couple of threads asking questions about the preferred equipment to use and will link them here so just continue on and let us know what you think. Also a couple from other members.
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7617758/tm.htm about the engine and undercarrage
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7460185/tm.htm about obtaining a model here in OZ
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7606756/tm.htm about the cockpit
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7607602/tm.htm about the wing
I wil be asking lots of questions, posting as I build and wanting to know all about the good gear to use.
Links, pictures, flight reports, hints and tips. Post them here.

Cheers,

Brad (expectant Spitfire Dad)
