Your assumption that it is that model has another connection. The pics you have posted show WW2 Australian markings, and the model you found in Aeromodeller Dec 1960 was designed by an Aussie, Geoff Pentland.

I've heard it said that this is the best flying Spit of all. Please show pics of your restoration. If you're going to RC it are you going to add dihedral to the wing?
