These 90% replicas look pretty good, there was an aricle about them in the paper a few weeks back.

Hmm... Did the original spitfires have a wooden frame also? I thought they were metal...

the originals were all metal. first all metal for the british. the hurricane was wood and fabric. still, its an awesome way for someone with the money to own a replica of a warbird. stuff like this could spawn a new warbird craze and possibly help support the Reno air races...
