Excuse me, but what the hell is an "authentic reproduction" please?
And looking at the pictures, I very much doubt that it "is being reproduced from original Mk 5 plans" either.
Whatever this thing is, it isn't a Spitfire.
PS You might have gathered that I don't like these 'wannabe warbirds' trying to pass themselves off as something that they aren't. Each to their own, I suppose.

Aw c'mon Mike! Lighten up a little and let some folks (me included) dream. Looks like a fun bird to me. I enjoyed looking over the website and seeing some of the construction details.
I've been involved in a full scale Jurca Spitfire and an NA-50 project. While not "real" fighters, I learned a lot from each. I have also worked on more than my share of "real" warbirds.
