Scratch Built Spitfire

The latest project off my bench: a Spitfire XIV

I built this as a Father's Day gift. My father has a model railway that uses the same scale as Wings of Glory! The squadron code letters (REV) are his initials.
  1. First step: laminate balsa block for fuselage, cut out wing shape. 
 
Second step: carve away everything that doesn't look like a Spitfire!
  2. Nearing completion: propeller cut and installed, wheels attached, contours rounded out with drywall compound
