Supermarine Spitfire Mk VI [STOCK] [1:1 Replica]

[RixKillian]

While not the most numerous RAF fighter plane in the war, the Spitfire is arguably the most famous - Considered by some to be the quintessential British fighter.

With a top speed of 125 m/s, and fantastic control responsiveness, this is a plane to be reckoned with.

This replica is 1:1 scale, and includes functioning flaps and realistic control layouts.

Take-Off Procedure:

I've found the best way to take off is to lower the flaps and set full throttle, but don't pull up until the plane tips onto the main wheels and the tailwheel is off the ground. Then pull up very gently, and retract the gear and flaps.

The replica is also an upgrade to the original Spitfire I made, and is part of my WWII replica project (See signature) which I'll hopefully be working much more on with the onset of summer!

Is this a Griffon variant?  Because the square ram intake makes it look like one.

The Mk VI was a Merlin variant, but you're definitely right about the looks (I never noticed that). I might look into other options for the cowling.

That's the best aircraft replica I have ever seen! The way it sits on its' wheels man. You really captured the shape of that beautiful aircraft. Nice work man, very nice work. Good to see you posting again!

Thank you! It takes a few iterations to get it right, but this one just felt right. (I'm gonna have to go back and update all my planes now to keep them up to standard )
