How to Make a Spitfire Fighter Aircraft out of Wood

[@alanwakefield2453]

Delightful! years ago (1980 ties) I worked on vintage Spits in the UK at High Wycombe airfield, all my kids wanted me to make were swing wing jet fiters and space ships. Maybe I'll have a go at a Spit for my granddaughter. thanks for a nice vid

[@kelly543211]

absolutely beautiful where do you get the plans from i would love to make one thank you from paul

[@danielmierop662]

Thank you for your AWSOME creativity and promoting aviation!

[@larrywhalen127]

Very nice build from a simple plan. I started building models when I was eleven and my first one was a Guillows Fokker D-VIII which was covered with a light layer of paper and now at 74 I still enjoy building them, usually RC Sailplanes and lately E-Powered "swamp boats", which several have been built here on you-tube by several people. Enjoyed your technique to build the spinner and the use of the wood chisel for forming the leading and trailing edges and the fuselage tail section, since I've always relied on a small wood plane with a blade from a straight razor. It was a pleasure watching you build your plane and just for information, there are plans for several dozen solid wood models available on the internet which were available during the Second World War for identifying friendly and/or enemy aircraft and can easily be scaled up, if you like, in order to build whatever size you would prefer. Thank you for sharing your talent and taking some of the mystery out of how they are built.

Very cool story

[@jackturner5363]

May I just say you are a wizard with a scroll saw

[@AbbasBinYounas]

The whole build was *awesome*, but those exhausts were the icing on the cake!

[@RubenPereira-od2ib]

¿como y donde se pueden encontrar los planos y medidas de dichos aviones??graciass

[@keithkendrick7111]

Really easy to make it! Peace of cake!

[@jamesnordman3476]

Great design and build! Do you have plans to download so that can make for my grandson?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful work, loved the way you shaped it!

[@WoodenAircraft]

Agree, Great one!

[@einarvolsung2202]

Very good. Santa's elfs would be jealous that toy is ready for flight.

[@yoganandpatle6797]

Ur carving skill is really excellent.

[@gilbertocardenas849]

Excelente, muchas gracias por compartir. Donde puedo adquirir (comprar) la maquina roja; soy aficionado a la carpintería. Gracias, desde Perú.

[@mihalykun6715]

Nagyon szép lett!!!👍🕊

[@snoopu2601]

Great model air plan came out great.👍 I'm making a double wing plan I used a 2x4 for the body and found some flat wood for the wing's.

[@kingfisheroutdoors4497]

Pics please

[@PeteBeardsley]

Yet another miniature masterpiece! Absolutely love it.

[@WoodenAircraft]

love it.

[@SuperSpiderman1979]

Amazing job.. beautiful.

[@sandromarques1709]

Excelente trabalho! Teria como nos mandar os moldes em PDF ? BRASIL. ..

[@INVICTUS9100]

Fantastic craftsmanship!

[@WOODBARK100]

Really like your style of shaping with the chisel, instead of sanding.

[@sharifabdullah3998]

Fantastic! Ur propeller is so awesome....🤩😎

[@greavous93]

Im running this through my head as to how to build one much like this but is RC and actually flies. Im thinking the first thing to do is to skeletonize the center piece to makea hollow cavity when the sides go on. Maybe hollow out the insides of the sides as well. This makes a place for ESC, motor and such. Cutting channels for rods for control surfaces is easy enough as would be making small cavities for servos. Batteries could be hidden in drop tanks or bombs (I know, but its a spitfire...) What makes this not so far fetched of an idea is that RC parts have been super micro sized due to the boom in micro quadcopters. And the parts a cheap as hell now too. Im also thinking of using super capacitors instead of batteries! They charge in an instant and are light too. Thanks for the inspiration DM Idea!e

[@rayberczik6672]

If you build it please video the process and you flying it!! I think it would be awesome as hell!!!!! Good luck👍👍

[@jameshancock7285]

Very nice work. I would suggest painting it, to give it a nice finish.

Nice work mate

[@michaelg_839]

Beautiful model..and free plans! You've earned yourself a subscriber!

[@brucemcnally3924]

A good job, but better if you include the very important dihedral - the upsweep of the wings. I made a large Spit for my grandson out of scrap wood and at first made the wings flat, like a Hawker Hurricane, and it just looked wrong so I removed the wings and cut out a V-shaped piece of wood from the centre, glued the two wings together and there was the characteristic front profile of the Spitfire. Try it and see the difference. I made a 4 blade prop of the Mk IX, my favourite. Thanks!

[@Sanjay-eb6fe]

I'm so glad I chanced upon your channel today. Your models look awesome. You walk us through the entire build process and even share the model plans. I love it. Thank you.

[@vincentlemaire4680]

magnifique and it really looks like a spitfire ! By the way, you missed the machine guns ! (france - nantes)

[@WoodenAircraft]

It look awesome

[@xX_Skraith_Xx]

Love it! Mind if I ask why you didn’t shave the fuselage flush?

[@garlikjude]

It is a beautiful work

[@subashkuruvitage4538]

👍 thank you for sharing it came out great

[@McQueenPaul]

Hi. Have you retro fitted a custom blade holder to your scroll saw?.

[@MonasteryofLaRabida]

Enjoy watching! .. spectacular work indeed 💐 thank you

[@matthewmartin6745]

Great work ! I'd love to see you do a Vought F4U Corsair.

[@WoodenAircraft]

It would be great to see

[@roshansebastian1862]

Nice making... I wish I could make one like this.....

[@larrywhalen127]

Roshan, best thing to do is pick a model with simple lines like a WW-II German Messerschmidt or a U.S. Mustang fighter since they have very simple lines. Most everything you need to cut/carve the soft wood to make them with, including the glue or epoxy can be purchased at a 99 Cent Store, such as the retractable safety cutters and small hand saw, as well as the mall clamps you'll need to secure the wood once it's glued together. One other thing is, Harbor Freight has six different models of WW-I aircraft for $2.00 each which are a lot of fun to build, and even though I've already built several of them I have least four or five more on my shelf which I intend to take a little more time to build in order to finish them closer to scale than they were meant to be, but this is what is part of the fun, taking a simple, no frills model and putting in a little extra effort to make a more realistic model. If you like, contact me and I'll be happy to give you a list of what you need to get started if you are serious about building, since especially now having a relaxing hobby to pass the time away is definitely a plus.

Nice work!

[@marksmith5977]

Brilliant.

[@benane9068]

Good job 👏

[@electoplater]

loved it next time add the eight browning machine guns looks nicer than the original

[@jimiblue1277]

Hi! Nice work with the plane. How much does the plan cost? where did you get it?

[@Daniel_Doce275]

It looks more like a BF-109 or the early P-51s, still a great build tho!

[@kevinsands7639]

I'm so relieved you never slipped with that drill, you should use a vice when drilling cutting and sawing and always cut away from you're hand and not towards it. Ps. why did Pinky and Perky come to sing to you?

[@ezekielgideon4721]

Great job!!!!!

[@TwinCastleBricks]

Could you make a P51D "Mustang" ? 🤔😊

[@ik0smg]

Very good

[@kingfisheroutdoors4497]

Looks great. I would love to see a cool paint job

[@gabrielmarianodasilva6264]

Estupendo y gracias por compartir sus conocimientos

[@manuelbarreno3611]

excellent videos and thanks for sharing the free plans, I would like to make one for my grandson, could you tell me what type of machine do you use to cut ?, since it is not a normal jigsaw and what cutting blade does the machine use?

[@fazalilabbasawan51214]

its scroll saw

[@martindekoning8346]

satisfying to see

[@carsan154]

muy lindo trabajo, justo lo que buscaba.

[@GeeksWoodShop]
