Title: Picture of Sterling Spitfire in blue livery
Post by: Bill Johnson 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.

Is this the one you were looking for?

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.

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.
