Lucky enuf to work 4 myself so home early... obvious reason.... put this thing together.... looks awsome... just gota program receiver ,,, inc control rods ,, centre servos....bla bla.. those wings look nice,, elleptical,, i think,, in a different way,, to the corsair,, gullwing... anyway i must say i was surprised at the foam quality,,, 4 an older fliteline... will say,, luv my fms p51,, but this is my 3rd fwing slash flightline plane.... and the build qaulity is a step above fms.... started on dynam,, so not hard to improve.... anyway couple pics.... one last thing ,, removal of wings wont b so easy as f4u,, 4 transport.... will find a solution or deal with it..

I believe you already got your parcel!!


Many rivets are missing on wings. I usually work with car filler and primer, but on this project I tried Mr.Hobby surfacer 500. It seems, that it works great.

I like them when they look battle worn. Makes them look more real in my mind than all shiny.

That Corsair looks nice plain. I keep trying to look at the Spitfire, but the Corsair keep catching my eyes.

Your Spitfire is beautiful. Glad you got some flights in.

Thank you Jetfool" Not sure if "beautiful" is correct. She looks like after heavy battle now. 🤣🤣🤣
I started riveting of the wings. When I done it, I will be able to prepare Spitfire for new camo.

I even started a thread about it in this and the EDF forums

It’s not gone

I just checked and you are correct. I looked on the website early this morning and the Bird Cage and Spitfire, along with a bunch of other ones were gone. I also got texts from several guys complaining about it and they told me they were discontinued as well. Crisis averted. Sorry for crying "Wolf". Must have been either a computer glitch or Aros was messing with the websites inventory.
