I'm willing to give it a go though The Iconicair Spiteful is a good kit, I found it to be a fairly straightforward build. has standard and extended carberetter intakes and serials for several different aircraft. you can also order a contra prop separately, which I did.

Dennis7423 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Here's todays update with some really impressive photos: "As expected: Mk XIV nose v7 print samples. The first part was black washed to show the rivet work. The carb intake add on fit very well, as is the wing root junction. So I can progress on the rads and other area with this out of my mind. Popping a good Belgian beer to celebrate! Cheers." I have inquired about price, too, now that he is a little further along. - Dennis S.

I'm confident you and I are not the only ones impressed with this so far. I'm excited to build this along with a Kotare Spit, and show just how far it came. I asked him about price, and he replied with the following: "I have my idea on the matter, but its a little early to settle on a price. Rest however assured I intend this to be very affordable." - Dennis S.

You wouldn't really think you were building a resin kit, it feels and looks like any other modern limited run injection moulded kit. If you are after one you would have to order direct from Graham at Iconicair website. Rgds jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned in my inquiry about tailwheels that he would have parts to facilitate the conversion for all three versions of the Tamiya Spit, so I imagine he'll give us an appropriate tail piece/conversion rather than new fuselage halves for the high back kits to make bubble tops. Just reading between the lines however. Time will tell - Dennis S. Mount Juliet, TN USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Juliet, TN USA Would it be out of line to mention to him that many of us are wide open to a pre order if he wishes? great looking conversion so far.

I don't think that's out of line, no. But without a settled price yet, I'm not going to offer that up quite yet. But when the time is right, I'll mention that to him :-) - Dennis S.
