Spitfire
Mk. IXc, MH883, VZ*B, FltLt. George "Buzz" Beurling, No.
412 Sqn., RCAF, December 1943
Another nice
GA Spit; commendable engineering and factory carry through.
However, let this one complaint go forth: those loose ailerons and
that loose rudder just about drove me bonkers! First one aileron would
fall down, then the other; and just when I would get them both up
and in place, they would both fall down! And whenever I shifted the
model or put the blower on it (to spin the prop) the blasted rudder
would flop to one side or the other. You can just catch sight of one
or the other of the ailerons in some of these photos. Give me a solid
model anytime!
