Welcome

John Sharpe's project

Spitfire Mk IX from Mick Reeves with a fibreglass fuselage, plug-in wings and proskin covering.

Sadly, my Spitfire has been sold to another builder. See the latest post for details. The progress blog still has helpful hints. Riveting videos can be found on the blog pages. Check out my flight in a big Spitfire.
