Not happy with this build but I do have another Guillows Laser cut Spitfire for the future. This one weighs close to 100 grams with balanced and rubber added, trim flights look good so far. I did remove the tail wheel and spinner for the flights

I was being lazy and used Design Master spray paint, lifted badly when masked and looks too orange. I should have used my airbrush and thinned Testors paint. I sure do miss the old Pactra Military Dope colors.

Building one of the high quality lasr cut kits from Guillows, right out of the box for freeflight on rubber. The laser cut parts go together fast with quality balsa.
