Hi,

Anyone happen to have a spinner for one of these? My son biffed his and they're out at Motion. What alternatives work with this plane/motor? TIA for answers or a spinner!

Happy Holidays!

My Spitfire is assembled and balanced. All controls set. She is ready for maiden..
New fuel filler cap fits great.
Anybody knows, why there are Hamilton prop logos on the prop? I suppose, that Spitfre props were not made by Hamilton.

Ugly and no more decal set choice

[Prekin]

Fuselage assembled. I hope, that Flightline will get back to the kits without decals. As you can see, the connection of the fuselage and tail is not hidden now.

[Red Flyer]

Excellent, thank-you!

Hello all,

I asked customer service, via email, if the decals are now coming pre-installed. They simply quoted from the product page.

Can anyone confirm or deny that the newest stock of the spitfire comes pre-decorated and not just painted ?

I can confirm, that those are decals.

Started with new parts. I did new antenna mast base, rearview mirror and fuel filler cap. One exhaust pipe to see how it fits. Probably all pipes will be trimmed.

PK, great designs and beautiful prints. Looking forward to seeing more of your modifications. Best, LB

Set screws... On all FreeWing and Flight Line retracts. Fairly easy to slightly grind a change with a dremel.

[Shaun Evans]

Thanks, Evan.

Speaking of retracts, are the ones in these two planes the kind with a grub-screw or a clamp? I like to adjust for a bit of toe-in.

[Evan D]

Spit. You have to be very careful getting the Corsair slow or you’ll be buying replacement retracts.

[Shaun Evans]

For those of you who've flown both, which lands slower... this Spit or the 1.6m Corsair?

Welcome to the Spitfire club.

Thank you!

Just checked the Spitfire. Nicely packed as usually we see at FL kits. I expected, that Spitfire comes with decals on extra sheet same as B-24. What a shame, that all decals are placed on. I will have to remove them. Not sure if it will peel of paints. I will replaced some parts such as exhaust stacks, trim rods, probably 20mm Hispano cannons...

Merry Xmas to me!!!! Starting new winter project in days!! I will see what mods I will do on that Spitfire.]

PK, a dog, you lucky guy, I asked for one, too. Merry Christmas, my friend. Best, LB

👍 Mine looked so gorgeous after I’d built it, I didn’t want to spoil it by flying it.
