Spitfire

We have tested this model extensively and made any alterations needed to improve the flying qualities before it's released worldwide. This is probably the nicest flying Spit available, maintaining all the scale shape with none of the usual associated handling problems. The long nose of the later Griffon powered marques makes balancing easier. Utilising a detailed fibreglass fuselage and cowl together with built up wings and tailplane parts, the final finish is sprayed matt camouflage ready for any scale detailing and weathering you wish to add, the covering lending itself to extra detail.

Features:

All decals are pre-applied and there is also an overall matt finish that seals all the graphics so no lifting. Also all the glass and plastic parts like the canopy are correctly colour matched, unlike some other artf's that are available. Other changes have made the new range lighter than their predecessors without weakening the structure. With all our aircraft their will be a primer finish option on a special order basis.

The Spit' is designed to use our new generation CNC retracts with air up, air down rams. These units are designed at our factory specifically for our aircraft. We have also altered the geometry slightly to make the model easier to takeoff and land without detracting to much from scale. As with most of the range their will also be a deluxe retract option available later in the year.

Due to our Warbirds having an accurate outline they will, depending on engine choice, may need additional nose weight to balance. This is unlike other brands who extend the nose to get around this problem.
