hey new to this but ill give it a go [] i need to find out the make of a spitfire kit given to my boss by the family of a friend who passed away it has no paper work or plastics to finish so i have been given the task of trying to find out the make of the kit and source the plans needed to finish would be forever gratefull if anyone out there can help by the pictures i have uploaded cheers chris

First id like to say that i personily dont know BUT if you could get dimensions im sure someone on here could help you out.

I'd guess that it's a Dynaflight. But as Flying Freak said, if we know the wingspan, length, etc. someone can figure it out for sure.

doh!!! [:@] well that makes sense lol it has aprox 64" wingspan as for other dims i will measure when i get bk to work tomorrow but cheers for having a look

with a 64" pan that may be a sterling kit,long out of business.however it is one of the more scale outlined spitfires if it is.designed in the early sixties for a .60 size engine they do fly great with todays equipment..look for some part numbers on the wing or fuselage.

dont think it could be that kit as all the formers and ribs have numbers printed on eg. w34 as in wing part 34 etc so this suggests to me it has been cnc cut therefor being of a late kit but i could be wrong as i havnt got a clue lol

A lot of older kits have numbers printed on them so the die-cut parts could be identified after they had been removed from their sheet. W34 would just be a part identification number. Can you get some close-up pictures of the interior, wing, etc., especially if the part numbers can be seen. Someone may recognize the style of printing, as each kit manufacturer I've seen had a slightly different style of printing.

Also, if a plane is carefully built, it would be almost impossible to distinguish between a laser cut, die-cut and hand cut kit, other than part markings. I suspect the plane you have is an older kit, not CNC or laser cut. Most people think my Skat Cat 500 is scratch build - it doesn't have any part numbers on it and I have center lines I have drawn on the bulkheads, fuselage sides, top, ect. that aren't printed or marked part of the kit.

what do you have for power on your scat cat,I made a removable bulkhead so that I can use a K&B 40 for club racing but also a fox quickie special.I also installed a steerable tail wheel connected to the rudder for ground handling.I fibeglassed mine and used k&b epoxy ,16 years old last may,still looks new

aerowoof,

Right now there's nothing in it - the Cat has been retired (for now). It was built in 1980 and has over 2500 flights on it. I've work out a K&B Torpedo .40, K&B .40 pumper and Irving .40 Mk. II. The Irving was rebuilt once, so 4 engines? Not to mention the gimbles on one radio. I'm limited on the engine I can run due to physical size - there is not any room for a larger engine mount on the nose, so right now the only engine I have to run on it is a NIB OS .40 FP. Since the plane weighed about 4.5 lbs, if I do fly it again I think that engine should be adequate as it will never be raced again, only sport flying.

Eventhough it did some racing, I built it for sport flying - too heavy to really race. I've got over size wheels for flying off very rough fields and the centersection is wrapped in fiberglass over 7" wide.

Trooper, is your boss a model builder/flier? does he want to finish it and fly it, or just hang it from the ceiling?

he is a very good builder but doesnt like flying them our two friends have that task lol he builds large scale warbirds mostly but has a lot of different stuff aswell.
the ailerons are attached by dowel not by hinges if that helps anyone?

hope these help?????
