| scigs30, Comment for image # 40149 | 26 Apr 18 17:24 | | She was pretty lite for a larger bird because before I added the clay. Typical Spitfire needed a lot of weight up front and painted with rubber ready for flight currently weighs 94 grams. I will build this complete series but on my next builds I may leave off painting. So far she flies great with kit supplied rubber and prop combo. |
| bsadonkill, Comment for image # 40149 | 26 Apr 18 15:38 | | Super nice job. Have you test glided your model yet? I have built and flew a 400 series ZERO at around 100 grams flying weight. I also have the frames built for a LC 405 Warhawk.It's frames weigh out at 31 grams. How much does your Spitfire weigh ? |

| hjlittman, Comment for image # 40149 | 25 Apr 18 21:26 | | Just make sure you know exactly where on the field it lands. With that camo scheme take your eyes off of it for a moment and it might disappear! |

Not happy with this build but I do have another Guillows Laser cut Spitfire for the future. This one weighs close to 100 grams with balanced and rubber added, trim flights look good so far. I did remove the tail wheel and spinner for the flights |

I was being lazy and used Design Master spray paint, lifted badly when masked and looks too orange. I should have used my airbrush and thinned Testors paint. I sure do miss the old Pactra Military Dope colors. |

The kit Silkspan is great, cover wet with 2 pieces for the entire fuselage. |

Building one of the high quality lasr cut kits from Guillows, right out of the box for freeflight on rubber. The laser cut parts go together fast with quality balsa. |
