Done and ready to ship. I love, when I can make some small details like to movable levers. They are not glued to the central axle, but only slidden and locked.

Last days I spent on the P-47 project, but I didn´t forget the Spitfire project. Here are two pictures of new instrument panel.

Well, today I finished the radio switch. I see, that the same switch were also in P-47 Thunderbolt. The kits and ready made switches will come with the label. Same as the voltage regulators.

Finally I´ve done the first dashboard from the new design. The kit has been listed last year, but now are available also the ready made instrument panels.

Beautiful work! I am very close to ordering parts from Holman and fiberglass fus from VicRC and gear from Sierra.
Your cockpit will be an inspiration.
Can you tell us what you think your total weight will be and which engine and landing gear you will use?
Thanks

I hope, that my Spitfire TOW will 8-9kg. Will flight with ROTO 35 and electric retracts. The previous 2m WS Spitfire was 7524g with DLE30.
Last year I also purchased the FG fuselage from Vic, but I had to sell it. The fuselage was too large for the transport, well Vic cut the nose, but forgot to mark the main fuselage axis.
The fuselage was $350

Vic: "It started about a year ago. I sell my fuselages at $350 for the
Spitfire and all other ones that are larger is at $375.

For many many years it was at $275 then $300 and now $350."
