School-project...

I’ve got a half year left of Junior High school, and our class got a project where we can make what we want in twelve weeks. I was planning to make a Spitfire in scale 1:30 or something around that.

But I don’t know where to find good and detailed drawings of the plane… I was wondering if any of you guys know about a site with drawings and maybe some explanations how to do it…:slight_smile:

I have made a plane before, but that was in 1:50 scale, and made in short time…

maybe here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire

try on google is full of photos of this plane

Plastic model, or build from scratch?

Try to make it in 1:24 perhaps, there’s plastic models in that scale (though they might be hard to find).

Well, the plan was to make it in wood, from scratch.

So Blueprints will help?
