It is unfortunate that the editor of Light Aviation magazine chose to write an article stupidly comparing the Mk26 Spitfire to the real thing. It is a look - like, no more, no less. The editor seems to be of the opinion that because the builders of the Mk26 kit own the name 'Supermarine', the product is a Spitfire. He told me so!
Why is it stupid, what else should he have written an article comparing it to, a double decker bus? If it is a scale or semi scale " replica" even if not accurate, surely the ideal aircraft to compare it to is the real thing..
