Man, oh man, if I only had the space in my yard, I'd get one! Hmm... maybe on the side of my front yard.

So that's who makes them. Funny thing is, I know Great Yarmouth pretty well, but never knew they were there.

Only problem is, I hate Spits Angry

Do you think they might knock me up a Stuka. That will please the neighbours Big Smile

It would make a nice dio.

Raualduke, I am guessing they are just empty inside. They are usually on a pedestal so you would not want excess weigh that no one will see.

Unless he has really high cathedral ceiling in his house. I need to buy a bigger house with a bigger front yard so I can do like a dogfight set with a Spit chasing a 109. LOL!

Ceiling!  You'd definitely have to hang it from the ceiling!   Wink

Just to be curious, I sent an inquiry of how much it would cost for a Spitfire replica in U.S. dollars. I did get a reply today and they quoted me at $46,000 minus shipping. I asked for a quote on that as well. Should be interesting to see what they come up with. BTW - they only do Spitfires and Hurricanes.

£27,000, that doesn't seem to bad actually. I was expecting a lot more.

Got an answer on shipping cost tonight. $7250 and it's inside a 40 foot shipping container. So that's brings it up to a grand total of $54,250. Pretty much the cost of a high end Cadillac SUV.

Plus you got to add the cost of mounting it and I assume the wings will have to be attached to the fuselage.

How much glue and filler have you got.
