Are your intentions to build 1:1 of the entire production run for the Spitfire (of all marques)?

Fine, sneer, but I'm doing something genuinely unique.

Many people have built the entire Spitfire family.  I'm going to do that - eventually, when I go back to doing real things.  Right now, I'm whiffing the lot.  And I've barely started.

But then most of us are doing exactly that on here too.  ;D

In our own way of course.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yes, but in odd ones and twos.  I'm taking an entire family of aircraft - A LARGE one at that - and whiffing the whole lot.  And AFAIK, that's never been done.

I apologise if you think I was sneering.  It was intended just to be a gentle rib or as we call it downunder a "stir", nothing more.  We are all, in our own way, doing what we want and your goal is as admirable as any here, so again, I apologise, if you've felt offended.

Various dates quoted on Britmodeller for the arrival of the 1/72 Spitfire F22 - 21 May I think is cited as the most accurate guesstimate.  Anyone got any insider knowledge on availability?  Will they be on sale at the Hendon Show, I wonder?

Alan Bond's Skylon space plane was on telly again yesterday: they're actually testing a prototype engine!

Don't ask me to bet money on it ever being built in Britain (China/India/Brazil maybe... :banghead:) but wouldn't an Airfix kit of it be a nice profile-raising tool? It's about the length of a 747 so 1/144th should be about right. It's a pretty pure shape too, so if Reaction Engines made some CAD files available, it shouldn't be that difficult to tool.

What in low-Earth orbit am I on about? This: http://www.reactionengines.co.uk/skylon.html
