Time and time again we see this most important single factor in the performance of any aircraft ignored in discussions.
Everyone knows that a Spitfire I can out turn a Bf 109 E and that the Messerschmitt pilot would be ill advised to fight in the horizontal, right?
Well, for the two...
RAF Museum handed over Spitfire in 'ill-conceived' deal for WWII aircraft it may never receive.
Museum bosses admit they 'paid' a salvage team a Spitfire worth £200,000 to recover an aircraft found intact in the Sahara Desert 70 years after it crashed.
A valuable Spitfire has been lost to the...
Hello,
Need advice to build a Spitfire Mk.IIb in 1/48 (tamiya prefered)... The project is Spitfire Mk.IIb P8330 RF-D flown by M. Gladych 23 June 1941.
If I'm not mistaken, the best way is to start with Spitfire Vb, replace the oil cooler (Mk.I/II), add the small tear-shaped fairing to the...

Hello,
Here is one of my projects: Spitfire IX EN190 flown by Colin F. Gray during March and early April 1943.
But I've a problem..... :( Sources differ regarding the code of EN190: some says FL A and other says FL K... I found both on the web...!!!
My opinion: I think EN190 was coded FL A...
I'm pleased to report that I have actually finished one of my started model kits!!! :D
It took some time, but here's my Tamiya Spitfire (which leaves me wanting to start another one...so I did- refer to last pictures of new build!)
I understand that there might be some things that need to be...

Noted Green's comments about how suddenly the Spitfire Mk V needed to be replaced, and quickly, due to the introduction and noted superiority of the Fw190A-1 and A-2. Hmmmm. Never a word about the current...
