For me all the best to them but going off on your own you must talk to the guys who have been there done that.It,s one thing going it alone but there is a reason why others are and have done it.It isn,t the problems you know off,its the things that come out of the blue that no one expects.
In logic there is not enough Mosquito “PARTS” to get one in the air yet,let alone 4 or 5 so you either have to remanufacture or wait till suitable parts arrive.
Get money together and pay the guys who have done it.That will give the 13 the job of organising parts searching and money getting.

There are plenty of project guys with spits on this forum who could put together from new what is present for less than 10K
there are no spar booms or anything else significant except the cockpit stuff and some of that is repro not genuine and none of it original to the aircraft.My view a good project for a museum or collector £12k -£15K (oops sorry the decimal point is in a different place)unless you want to fight over it. I think someone could pay an awful lo tof money and get an awful lot of disappointment

But,but,but it,s Spitfire:)

Ah, nevermind, that’s LZ842.

Another sale on the quiet..

Hope it stays as a Trop and in original RAAF colours..

Tried the Australian Spitfire Association?

A good start would be drawing number 30035-105H..

Try the MkV Trop,Equipment drawings..There are plans there for a rations box.

And how many of you actually work on Spitfires anyway ?

I do and think the guys have done a marvelous job on the MkI :)May she grace the skies for another 70 years..
