So I'm wanting to build a Spitfire replica, most likely between 60% and 80% scale, using wood as the primary structure (I have plenty of metals experience, I just enjoy making sawdust!). Would like it to be as scale in looks as possible, however I understand some compromises need to be made in interest of stability, pilot being able to get in, etc. Who would you recommend obtaining plans from? I'm aware of a few (Jurca, WAR, to name a couple) but figured this is the best group to ask. I don't need to stay 103 or anything like that. I saw the full size drawings offered for sale, but I couldn't build that without putting a V-12 in the nose and I'm thinking a project of that magnitude would require congressional approval at home! Sure would be a beautiful airplane however.
Any ideas would be a lot of help.
