![]() This photo was taken before work ceased for the winter. I forgot to ask, do you have photos of your own fuselage? ![]() I forgot to ask do you have photos of your own fuselage? I guess time and money could be saved if this unseen detail was discarded and focus was put on the "shell". Looks like they took the time to build the base structure close to the real McCoy. Hopefully it may look like one from a distance. My own wooden framed fuselage project cost a lot less (in case wife reads this) but it will never be a real Spitfire. I think it looks pretty good from the photos and I plan to view it in the flesh Viewing the following page will give you an idea about how it was constructed. (You certainly shouldnt let your spouce know!!) I think a full size GRP model costs around £20K and you might be interested in the Replica built to support the Royal British Legion (Ripon Branch). Its a bit like any other hobby you should never add up the costs in advance as the shock might put you off. I suppose what I am saying, is what do you want the final item to be like? Faithful or a large Airfix kit.to do it properly is a money pit! Reduce cost further (whilst it still looks like a proper Spit) by replacing frames 6,7,12,13-19 with wood items.make Frame 5 out of wood.etc. Replica instruments, replica column, replica U/c selector, replica castings of other cockpit p seat, metal seat, I would suggest a pair of GRP wings with proper control surfaces.so call that £35k.add your time and Bob's your Uncle! cowlings £3000 (cheaper if you can use an English wheelīored now!!! so this comes to £30.8k and still need wings. tail feathers a kit of parts you assemble £2000 Static column £2000, other flying trims, controls etc.£2000 ![]() Instrument panel + pucker instruments etc £2000 Frame 5 (outwardly original looking), original carry thrus spars Total cost £1000ī. assumes you have and get wheels, legs etcĪ. You will try and source original parts for some assembliesħ. You've got a reasonable amount of moneyĢ. ![]() This is an interesting question.first we need to make some assumptions:-ġ. ![]()
