Mystery Spitfire…??

Thought I’d enabled it./ I’ll give it a go.

Der – could you e-mail me and I’ll get back to you? It says you’re set up to not receive private messages 🙁

The Mk1 has an upright mount.

£30 the pair? (plus the OS)

Hey Daz
I’m interested. Can you e mail me off board?
Cheers

I got a Cambrian Mustang painted up as OFMC Ferocious Frankie, flys like a dream! Quite easy to build and finish also. All i had was an OS40FP so i bunged it in! The beauty is you can fly it on a scale sized prop (ok the torgue can be daunting – but scale!)
It flies around happily on about third throttle and looks real. I’ll try and post a pic up.

That is a very convincing Spitfire, looking forward to flying my 1/6th scale one soon 😀 😉 😀

Nah-all you do is take the battery out, put it back in the wrong place, muck up the centre of gravity, and there you have it. a homesick mole with invasion stripes!
Daz-thanks for the offer. Better not take it up right now as Ive got 4 biplanes needing completed first. Are these the Cambrian Funfighters for 25 engine? What are you looking for them?

Do they make scale replica 88′ milimeter cannon so these can be shot down ???

Der – I’ve got a couple of 1/10 Spitfire projects for sale, if you’re interested.

One’s 90-95% finished, the other about 45%

Yes, it is indeed a 1/12th scale Spitfire model – with a 32″ wingspan!

I was looking at the photos of it on Saturday and thought I’d have a bit of fun (boring desk job! ;))

Looks good though, don’t it?? 😀

Looks better than my 1/8th scale Cambrian Mk9 which piled in vertically last week.

Check out a review of the Spit here:

Umm… if I remember correctly, the Spitfire was in the new releases section of last month’s RCM&E magazine.

If I remember I’ll look up – I think they were available via Ripmax but I could be wrong.

Are these models sold in the U.K? Where and how much?

Looks Really good

And flies like a dream;)

The livery and armament displacement do not match anything I recognise in the US or elsewhere.
I am going to stick my neck out and say (at this stage) scale replica or large and excellent model.
There is a mysterious ‘lump’ behind the the radio mast in one view and the four blade prop blur…….well something about it.
UN Code….. not Spitfire.

LOL you have been pranked by somebody.
That’s not a real Spitfire:D
I have got one like that at home.
It’s a R/C Spitfire.

Oh well it was worth a try, not a great Spitfire expert personally :p I also managed to totally miss the first pic that clearly shows it as a high back aircraft.

OK here’s where the fun begins. I thought all Mk XVIs had broad chord fin and rudder, the one is question has the original narrow chord version
