Building the big Spitfire along the Mr. Bill!

Just put together one portion of a 108 page plan........

FYI...the floor tiles are 7" squares you can use as reference.

What kind of wood will you use?
This is the biggest cookup I have ever seen.

Thinking of either 1/8' or 1/4" Mahogany plywood, and maybe a veneer sheeting, or fanfold foam sheets.

F-1 rib, its a whopper!

John M Oshust 25/01/09 19:03
Are you going to use balsa, bass, or ply?

poppy 25/01/09 19:50
This is gonna be more like a 4000 series!

Xanadu 25/01/09 20:05
For the first build this size, I am going to use plywood as a start. Once I work all the bugs out of a build this size, I will try balsa and foam.

Ha Ha! So, you admit it! You're going to build more than one!

:twisted:
