Four tanks (plus a few little 'uns) in too small a space = unhappy SWMBO. T'was time for a trim-down (to make space for that KT or Leo... ;D ;D ;D ;D) Just glad you like it "Ice", I'm sure you'll do an excellent upgrade to her. Take care T

ice that spit' is fantastic, a real credit to you, as is the others, if we do have a battle down near you, you could make it realistic by having a dogfight over the battle ground, who needs hollywood ;D ;D ;D

Hi Ice, if possible could you post a photo of the Spitfire next to a Tank for scale,and please post many of your Spitfire. That is a favourite of mine, of all the Planes in the war the early Spitfires were an aircraft that required great skill to fly, I read that the planes fuel system would starve for fuel in certain types of manoeuvre's? Do you have any information about this problem?

Thanks Sax

yes i will post them again , yes the spitfire would stall from fuel starvation in a steep climb, this was due to having carbs , where as the me bf 109 was fuel injected
