johnost Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Bob DeFord of Prescott, AZ, dreamed of owning a Spitfire. He couldn't afford one. So he built his own. It's 1:1 scale and powered by an Allison V-12 engine. https://www.youtube.com/v/pzkoTulqA1U&autoplay=1&rel=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 No trouble. The Spit is certainly the finest warbird ever and this guy is genius to do it by himself ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnost Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks to all for your comments. I think what he did was a tremendous fete - think of the efforts it must have taken to find or make all the authentic parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
