I remember driving past old RNAS Ford about 15 years ago & seeing 2 Spitfires flying so close together they could have been flown by the Hannas. Upon arrival i was gobsmacked to see they were both Mick Reeves MkIX’s.

Why didn’t you do her with clipped wings?! 😀

Thanks Daz. She is a dream come true. Flys beautifully and looks gorgeous. That trophy incidentally was won last week at my local club Concours. The Spitfire won ‘Best Overall Model’. – Me = Chuffed.

The Mick Reeves Spitfire certainly has the perfenct scale outline. Check out this picture showing the classic Elliptical wing…

I’ve been after that Spitfire 9 for a while. Not found anyone over here that sells them.

The Spitfire IX model was the subject of some humour a while back – a “which-Spit-is-it?” thread. Dunno who it could have been who put that one up….! 😀

A great resource for the modest private operator of warbirds! 😉
