Spitfire


Last night we finished up the latest plane in our WW-II airforce: the Supermarine Spifire Mk-II. I built this one sans landing gear, machine guns, and antennas. Instead of tissue paper, I used sheets of balsa wood. I am anxious to see if it lasts longer than the others.
We have continuous air battles raging throughout the house. Right now the combatants are debating the proper sound to make for the machine guns on the Spitfire. Last night we watched "Dogfight" and all of us were very engaged. The show was about the battle of Leyte and how we took out the Japanese super-battleship, the Yamato, which was featured on Nova this last week. Very Exciting!
