A new spitfire replica is temporarily in a park along the Detroit River. Apparently this along withl a Hurricane replica will be erected on either new of a modified pestal in Jackson where FM212 formerly was.

Dunno. I posted the pics that a canadian friend sent me. My friend said it looks good until you get really close and then the lack of some of the detail is a tell tale sign. But hey, so is a 1:24 model as well.
:wink: Maybe our Canadian WIXer's can shed some light on this.

I found this page regarding the initial delivery in May:

I'd imagine the folks at the CH2A's Windsor Lancaster Group might know:
