Mar 1, 2009. 6:21 PMtgunni41 says:

how did you build that

Mar 3, 2009. 10:27 AMferrari484 (author) says:

If you mean the Spitfire. Well i am quite suprized to how it worked out. And beleave me it's even cooler for real.

Jun 27, 2009. 2:25 PMgibbo_gunner2496 says:

i think the main trick is to stop the detailed wings drooping this instructable didnt do tooo good by my perspective in that area but the new spitfire outdid this by at least 1000000mill miles keep up the good work making my own mescherscmit let the race begin!!

Jun 28, 2009. 3:42 AMferrari484 (author) says:

If i have to say it my self i don't like my fokker to much looks to much like one from a instruction book, because i used a instruction book as a basis to go from. What is pretty normal to but still flat wings :D I really like my new wing design from the Spitfire u shoot use it to :D

Jun 29, 2009. 11:16 AMgibbo_gunner2496 says:

at the momment my wings are perfection with tips and guns its just getting the canopy shape,and the crispness of the entire model to go well you spitfire has a beautiful front fusalage and the tail is nice but the landing gear could be a bit more quality your probs listening to me thinking that i can talk the talk but you see no descent models but im posting a wing section soon for newbies with flaps ailerons and trimming tabs my strong point is aircraft hehe i was an aircadet for 1 half years

Jul 1, 2009. 10:43 AMferrari484 (author) says:

and how big is it anyway

Jul 1, 2009. 10:42 AMferrari484 (author) says:

Dec 30, 2007. 4:08 AMLftndbt says:

WoW! Nice detail... Makes me want to go buy some Knex.... Oh no.... I'm sure the Knexer's out there would love me... LoL... How much does, a full kit cost? As in how much would it cost to get "serious" about it.. Thanks, nice Instructable!

Nov 17, 2008. 6:16 PMthe gizmoman says:

a 400 piece tub cost around 20$, the 1000 piece kits cost around 70 to 80 $ (the roller coasters) buying 150 to 200 $s worth is a good start off

Dec 30, 2007. 2:11 PMferrari484 (author) says:

if i was you i shout buy secondhand then you will get more knex for less

Dec 31, 2007. 12:11 AMLftndbt says:

I'm a big kid, with a fairly big allowance... So i'd prefer to buy new set's... But thanks... I'll look into it some more....

Aug 9, 2008. 4:48 PMBartboy says:
