Un-freaking-believable!

You may have seen this already...but for any who haven't...
This is a 1/3 scale scratchbuilt ( DUH, what else would it be) Spitfire Mk.
IX.
I suddenly feel horribly inadequate!

Spock: "105.88235 times to be precise, Captain" ;-)
I suspect he means that once one checks out the first YouTube model video, those additional ones thumbnailed on the side of the screen can prove to be irresistible time consumers. After watching the Merlin video I'm now watching a series of real F4U videos thanks to the thumbnails. 15 minutes and counting now when I should be doing something else.
Speaking of - wouldn't the guy on the line be somewhat more useful if he had a fire extinguisher handy?

Nothing as grand as a 1/5 working model R-2800, but this walk around of a 1:1 is cool none the less.

This clip is actually a chop-down from the whole story - I liked hearing him describe how he had to learn to work glass so he could make the headlight lenses and bulbs.
