Google Brian Taylor Spitfire and you will get many hits - this iconic aero modeller produced and built many warbirds that were scale and flew good.
Plans were acquire used though Sarik Hobbies in the UK sells Brian Taylor plans and accessories though Sariks pricing and shipping is quite high.
Vic RC in the USA offers fiberglass parts and a fiberglass fuselage for the Brian Taylor Spitfire 1/5 scale plans. http://www.vicrc.com/product_spitfire.htm this where I got the cowl and oil scoop.
I will not be using bellcranks in the wing for the ailerons and separate servos and pushrods for each elevator. My goal is a weekend flying warbird so access to all control rods and servos is a must.
Zpoxy and 0.60 ounce glass cloth finish with ordinary latex paint.
I will use a DLE 55 engine.
Since I live in Winnipeg, I will most likely paint the Spitfire in RCAF 402 "City of Winnipeg" squadron colours.
I found three good build threads on the BT Spitfire that I will use as as a guide
John Ranson build at https://www.rcscalebuilder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10065&KW=spitfire
Ian Daeary's build at https://www.rcscalebuilder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15565&KW=spitfire
Edwin's build at https://www.rcscalebuilder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22841&KW=spitfire
I've taken what I needed to learn from these three threads and condensed them on Word Pdf, the PDF's are on Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/open?id=18Ku8015_uCORcPBqvXPjXg8_kqHRzkaM
