Ok, Ok, Ok, I caved....

Granted with all my other irons in the fire this may take a while, so I am grateful for the Dec 31 end date.

...It may take every bit of it.

I actually did a thumbnail sketch probably 2 years ago, then did the above colored rendering.

 

I will be making the majority of this up as I go along, but at this point here is the basic concept and list of mods.

 

Reno styled Unlimited Racer, based on the Spitfire.

Rolls Royce Griffon engine with modified Shackleton Contra-rotating propellers

Boil off system for engine cooling and oil cooling.

Cockpit moved aft and modified bubble canopy and windscreen.

Filled and smoothed wings and fuselage.

Modified landing gear.

 

I have been dying to build this, and this is the perfect excuse to do it.
