Picture of Sterling Spitfire in blue livery
« on: May 21, 2015, 03:06:28 PM »
There's a link to a picture, somewhere in the Open Forum, of a Sterling (or Walt Umland version) Spitfire in blue like a Seafire. It's posted  in a link with other aircraft from some meet. I've searched a couple hours now but cannot locate it. If anyone knows where it is, I'd appreciate some help.

It was posted within the last year.
Best Regards,
Bill

That's not the one I was thinking of but that works! The one I remembered seeing had a lot of panel lines laid out.

I like this one though, Dennis. I have a Walt Umland kit and that scheme really looks good. Thanks.
Best Regards,
Bill

Looked good in the air too and it had a nice growl to it. I think it had a Greenhead for power.

I've been thinking about an engine. There's many accounts of the plane flying fine on a Greenhead. I don't want to over-power it because with that thin wing, it's going to turn some quick laps anyways but I'd like an engine that will last and with a bolt-on muffler. At the same time, I'll probably have to run 63-64 ft lines so I have time to maneuver but that's a lot of line to be dragging around.

That's sharp, Gordon! It looks like it has just enough detail to look great without going overboard.
