  • This is the Hachette Partworks 1/18 scale Mk 1a Spitfire. The plane comes with a very large base. I have made a smaller bespoke base using the supplied lift motors. Total cost approx Au$2400 (1000 UK Pounds). The kit was initially released in the UK and then subsequently limited release around the world. The kit has a few technical issues which many other builders were unhappy with. But a good model builder can easily resolve these issues and produce a top quality finished model.
    I have made a weathering tutorial for this Spitfire and it can be found here.

    If the base had a rotating belt you could start with grass/runway, make it shrink and then have sky background. I think that is how they shot the Thunderbirds.

      Can a Spitfire on a treadmill actually take off...?

      If it went from grass to an aerial view with patches of land, that would be pretty neat.

      @@AndyRRR0791 no, the whole reason a plane takes off is because of the air that goes past the plane when it increases in speed. The faster the plane is going, the more air that goes past it and also under the wings generating lift and allowing it to take off. You'll notice that if you run normally it feels as if it is getting windier. However on a treadmill you cannot feel any wind and because you are stationary. The plane needs this "wind" so that it generates lift

    .
    And of course it can always be crazier and more beautiful but...
    beautifully made!
    Good luck with the hobby and best regards from the Netherlands!

    Spitfires & Mustangs have to be the most recognizable body style for WWII. This is cool though, it's spot- on even the way the engine powers down, with that "hit'n miss" sound.
