So with a sea of spitfire's (1/8 scale min) out there, which would you guys recommend? Closer to scale looking, the better. Thanks!

That depends what size you want and how much time you want to spend building. You can't beat the Brian Taylor Spitfire Mk IX for scale appearance with an 83" ws. But it's no ARF, scratch build only. IMHO, my next choice would be the Flight Line Mk IX at 63" ws from Motion RC if you want an ARF.

Thank you good Sir!
