Glad someone got a primer, I'm still saving pennies for mine.

Hello all, Ive been away for a while, but check in once and a while. Great work, door looks fantastic. I just bought a Ki Gass decal/sticker off ebay, it looks great, and the price was good too; for those of looking to complete the primer knob. Cheers, Nate

Looks awesome. Always someone making me realize I have such a long way to go ;-) Nate

Spars were telescoping spring steeel, spar webs were aluminum. One version had an all aluminum spar, but that was a later varient. Nate

Viper190, There's a guy in Australia that has numerous warbird drawings on EBay. Costly, but might help you with your needs. Nate

Ross, Thanks, I have that drawing already. I've managed to complete the bottom half of the cowl, up to the datum. I used a Mk V drawing there (34938-87-D). Between that, the exhaust panel and the oil tank drawings I have, I have made a fairly accurate rendition of the lower cowlings. The...

Anyone have top cowling dimensions (offsets) for the early spitfire Mks? I'm looking for the 72" version, which would include up to the MkV. Thanks so much, Nate

Harvey, I have some BFP drawings that were generated from factory drawings. I don't have any dimentional factory drawings, but I was able to make some fairly accurate guesstamates by tracing and scaling to known entities. Everything I've done is an old design CAD program, so I'm not sure what...

Great pictures, thanks for the update. Nate

Darryl, Looks great, I see you're fairing well with the coaming channel, tough part to make. I looked through my old photos, and I'm sure that the photo is of David Glen's 1/5 spitfire. I googled it, and it truely an amazing piece of work. Summer is my busy season, so no time for my...

Is the second photo of Glen's 1/5 spitfire? Amazing workmanship there. Nate

Darryl, I have spent a lot of time on that very area. I finally figured it all out, but I had to search dozens and dozens of drawings to find dimensions I was looking for. The cockpit coaming channel is amost impossible to replicate. Sounds like you have everything in order now, let me know...

Darryl, I have a friend who is building the full size Jurca, and if I remember correctly the frame spacing is not at all the same as the real spifire. Might be where your measurement error came from. Nate

Darryl, Let me know how the canopy goes. If you don't get it, I'd be interested. How's the redo going? Those were from the Jurca plans? Nate
