To be honest. I think even 1/5 is more than I could comfortably build, store and transport.
That said, I may have mentioned that I have a soft spot for Griffon powered Seafires and Spitfire 22/24.
Seafire 17 would mainly need a shorter nose, different canopy and a hook in the tail
The others would need a different wing and the big fin - and Seafire 47 has contra-props

Fokke,
I don't see the inner flaps.
The inboard flaps are slaved to the outboard flaps with a bowden cable which is a flexible cable that rides inside fixed sections of tubing mounted to each flap.
It's very close to the full size arrangement.

Good news from France
fokkerc.com Spitfire of one my friend is ready to fly , so we wait video
He made a realy great job with this kit , so I can not wait the first fly
the covering is balsa 2 mm + fiber glass 25 grs with epoxy resin
the weihgt is 12 kgs but i think i must put 500 grs of lead for having a good gravity center at 25%

Spitfire is looking awesome fokke. Yes the two spinners are a very different shape. As you would know by now the whole front of the cowl is a different shape and the center line of the engine and therefore the spinner is lower. I can't really offer any source of a decent plan to be able to make on but I could find my Yellow aircraft plans and copy the spinner shape for you and send it over. I'm not sure how true to scale it will be though. Best of luck my friend.
