Guess i dont have time to carve any wooden models, so i switched to die cast models. Some of them you can get which are insanely detailed. I have two in the works, the ME262 and the Fokker DR I triplane ( yes you guessed it right - the one flown by Manfred von richtofen, AKA the Red baron, one of the greatest pilots to take to the skies.)
The supermarine spitfire is a legend, there was no aircraft more feared or respected by the Luftwaffe than the spitfire, even though the Hawker hurricane shot down more aircraft, coz they were assigned to bomber protection. The spitfire had a faster climb rate, equipped with twin cannons and was more maneuverable than the enemy, even though this is very debatable due to the amazing Messerchmitt ME 109 and later the Focke wulf 190. Even as a small kid every war comic i read had a clash of these two aircrafts. Other than the Lamborghini muira, the SR 71 blackbird, the spitfire is one of the most awesome machines built and it now stands on my shelf as part of the collection.
