Odd Spitfire replica

Not sure if this would be the right place to post this, but here goes anyway…

Can anyone shed any light on the “Spitfire” replica in the attached photo? It was Australian, and I’m afraid that’s all I know! It’s got inward-retracting undercarriage, four-blade prop and it looks to have been converted from another aircraft(?)

Can anyone tell me any more? (I thought it might have been the “Pfalzkuku” featured in the September edition of “Pilot” magazine, under the Spitfire 26 article – but perhaps not!)

QUICK! Somebody get Yak11Fan!

I think your camera is playing up Snapper, there is no way Janie would be disguised as a deformed Spit Fire. That thing is very bad.

I thought the Martin Baker MB5 replica was a long way from completion! ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

Reminds me of those kiddies roundabouts that you see accompanying traveling fairs with a little fire engine or a little bus on themโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

“The BBMF took one look at their just-delivered Spitfire restoration and started checking to see if anyone still had the receipt”
