Man Builds WWII Era Plane in His Garage
I can't comment on whether his planes are "authentic" or just "looks the same" or what.

If the Spitfire is the one pictured in the article it looks pretty good to me.

 

[Greyman]

Just a file photo of the real aircraft. His are a wee bit different.

 

[TheMadPenguin]

His are a wee bit. Period.

 

[michael rauls]

Oh.

 

[michael rauls]

In all fairness....a far sight better than I could do in my garage.

Another one, from a thread I posted four years ago...'Like every true Briton I wanted to fly a Spitfire': How one man built his own plane with a little help from B.C.

Oh.

A much more realistic Spitfire homebuilt is the Jurca MJ-100 Spitfire - full size replica. But you're looking at a build time of around 7,000 hours and you need a particularly big engine....

An elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

 

[Snautzer01]

more civilized age.

Elegant yes, but you have to over think the civilized bit i think.

 

[vikingBerserker]

That's just fricken awesome!

 

[michael rauls]

Now that's more like it.

Frankly, I would settle for the garage he built it in
