Rupert,

RE: Spitfire CARF-Models 2011 Build Thread. Started by Lazy Eight & WARBIRDRCER

Lazy Eight,

You are right about the plane having something to be desired as far as scale is concerned and the fact it is an AED aircraft. I like that term, but also as you said it is a great...

Okay, I am still gathering details on the Spitfire and trying to determine what I have here, or what I can do to correct the situation.
