  • Hello Elbee, yes I was referring to the flight line retracts. The retracts I have in my top flite spitfire are old robart 85 degree retracts. They are slightly swept back like the full scale spitfire when they are in the retract posiition.

      Hey Randy,

      I ran downstairs and took a couple photos.

      The retracts look correct to me, but I did not measure the forward rake.

      See what you think.

      Have a great Thanksgiving Day and "Tally Ho".

      Best, Steve

            Thanks Randy, much appreciated.

            Many years ago I had started a Pica (Dave Platt) Spitfire to convert to a Mk XVII Seafire.

            It has more miles on it from moving and my life changes than it should and it is still a work in progress.

            When FlightLine introduced their Mk9, I felt a reprieve of sorts and opted to do a clipped Seafire Mk III but in the later livery.

            Fantasy Bird, but I like it.

            Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours,
            Steve
