Not so much a raiding party as a full scale invasion Dave Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Hey, funhouse- I'm curious: what sort of shop setup do you have for fabbing all these parts? Are you doing it all at home? Please excuse me if you've posted this earlier...

Hi rottydaddy,
i have a small workshop at home, nothing very exciting, just a lathe, vertical mill, Mig Set for the welding. Most of the project so far has been sheet metal work, so only basic hand tools are needed.
