Welcome

John Sharpe's project

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

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