An exceptional warplane thanks to its aerodynamic elliptical wing, the Spitfire was pleasant to fly with superior handling compared to German fighters. However, Spitfires took time to manufacture, leaving the bulk of the RAF to be filled with Hurricanes.

I love the way the cockpit camera Bobs in maneuvers, a simple thing that gives a nice feeling of g-forces in maneuvers.(for lack of a better description) Can't wait to see what you make next, these planes are great!
Flies beautifully! Simple design, nice cockpit.
THIS IS THE BEST SPITFIRE EVER MADE
This is probably the best replicated spitfire on the site...
Very, very well done! Looks great and handles it too. You deserve an upvote and follow.
Such a small amount of parts, yet so realistic.. you really nailed this one!
