RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

hi ,just thought i would share with you my rc plane collection, i have a cambrian funfifgter me 109, a baronet , but my pride and joy is my picca 1/6 spitfire, i built this about 10 years ago and put so much detail into it its never left the ground, its been painted as  johnnie  johnsons mk 9, if the real thing had a panel line there so has this, even down to the rivets[ yes i confess i can be a rivet counter, lol 

nice collection of war birds

Nice craft there "Ice", that PanzerIII looks very cool too......LOL!!

cheers for the coments guys ,
tanxalot that panzerIII is a good little runner, why did you let her go !! , will treat it to some goodies after xmas, tankzone are doing metal hull and suspension kits  :-\
regards,ice

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... ) 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

cheers for the comments  tony , a dog fight would be fun but not with my spit ,

Nice! any pics?

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
