Glynn Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Well Mike Hammersley's Spitfire had it's maiden today. With Mike's high standard of build and it's designer Richard at the controls it was flawless and looks as good in the air as it does on the ground. It really is a peach of a model and Mike should be real proud of it. Here are the pictures of it's first flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARD WILLS Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hello Piers , the model is 55" laser cut , typical weight 6lb , IC version requires a .52FS . The electric version is far better but I have flown both for many years , Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham R Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I have just started building mine which I've had in stock for a couple of years. Anybody contemplating one - it's a very enjoyable and relatively easy build that goes together well. Nice quality Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose is the real hero Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Just want to second what Graham said. Mine has been languishing for a year, primed but unpainted but given the recent circumstances it may finally get finished off. Goes together beautifully, a real pleasure to build.

RICHARD WILLS Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 There are two threads on this model . There are some tips on modifications on the other thread , If you back track on the forum to "Warbird Kits " you will see it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hey Richard what,s wrong with my Spitty ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD WILLS Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Nothing wrong with your Spit , Martian . In fact, I rather fancy one with the yellow spinner . I kind of panicked when I sent the kits out this morning , remembering that I was going to put down some tips and options on the standard build . it wasnt till after I 'd posted that I remembered your later thread (had the better photos.....dont tell Paul ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD WILLS Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 At the moment , I have a couple of Spitfires in stock . Probably not for long though . Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Kulagin Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Richard is quite correct, I ordered mine today. My building has, now, gone full circle as my very first balsa model was a rubber powered Spitfire way back in 1962. Although Richard's kit is of a Mk IX I hope to finish mine based on a Mk 5B flown by Sq. Ldr. Jan Zumbach of 303 Sq. This is my first venture in to building a scale (ish) model and, looking at what you guys have posted on this forum, there is no shortage of hints, tips and advice. My original plan was to use OS 52 power but I may have to have a chat with George and venture in to electricery if the cost is not to prohibitive. I'll have to wait and see.

RICHARD WILLS Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Ive got a handful of Spitfires in stock , for anyone on the forum. Not on my site as I dont want the public to steal any first . Sounds crazy until you consider the balsa supply issue . Look after your own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
