Beautiful model Pete.

Pete,
Your carved Supermarine 224 (F7/30) is absolutely beautiful. Unlike the real thing ;)
Did you know this plane was called the Spitfire! The name was reused for the successful later fighter, Mitchell supposedly didn't like the title but it was by the boss of Vickers-Armstrong so that would have been the end of the debate...
Regards
Will
Beautifully carved Pete with your lovely style of its own.
Barry.

Wikipedia quote " In 1935, Canada selected the Delta for use as a photographic survey aircraft for use by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), to be built by Canadian Vickers under license.[2] One aircraft, the last Delta built by Northrop, was supplied as a part assembled pattern to Canadian Vickers, first flying on 16 August 1936 and being delivered to the RCAF on 1 September that year.[7] It was followed by a further 19 aircraft built wholly by Canadian Vickers, production continuing until October 1940.[8] The Northrop Delta was the first all metal stressed skin aircraft built in Canada." unquote
