1/16 Spitfire/Hurricane??

Does anyone out there know of a 1/16 Spitfire or Hurricane model which is available, or for that matter CAD files for one?
I am asking because i want to make a towable 1/16 model for my kids so they can use their scale tractors to tow around a warbird when we attend shows and exhibitions. We attend a aviation museum quite regularly and it would just be cool.
It does not need to be able to fly, although i would fit a slow spinning prop for diorama purposes

Sorry if posted in wrong area, but if i can get one, pictures will be dropped in below and some videos of them being dragged by a tractor also

It's 1/12 so need to be rescaled to 0.75 in slicer.

That's ace, defo a cool project. Even easier since i don't want to fly it

Although i do want to get back into RC Flying as i have 12 planes sitting in a garage.

Thanks for sharing with me

Excellent, will look into that aswell.

It has to be British preferably Spitfire as my son is obsessed with them, plus the tractor i made has been painted up as WW2 colours.
Cheers

You could get these RC versions which you could fly one day (although at 665/700mm will be very touchy to fly so would suggest installing a stabiliser)

Bit small at 665mm but close to 1/16th

NiceSky Mini Hurricane 700mm so bang on 1/16

Cannot find a listing for it but they are around.
