Welcome to RC Groups
You probably don't want to hear this but I'll have to say it. If you really are a newbie you don't want to get involved with large scale Spitfires at this stage. Everyone wants to fly a Spitfire but you need to be a competent pilot to do so. I've heard the "Well I can build this whilst I learn" argument but until the newbie does learn then he generally doesn't have much idea about what particular size Spitfire (or any scale model) he will aim or or how the various systems work.
That said, if you look at Brian Taylor's plans for several Marks of Spitfire in a variety of scales then that might give some ideas. Brian doesn't have a website but he can be contacted by snailmail or telephone : Brian Taylor, 26 Ashcroft, Chard, Somerset, TA20 2JH, UK
Telephone: +44-(0)1460-65694.
and his plans are listed on this webpage

Hi TAM,
Did you already had contact with Mr. Brian Taylor?
You can find pictures about his Spitfire on my website, I also ordered his plans last year.

Hi,
Try Nexus Publishing for your plans, they have an excellent range of scale and semi scale birds in several sizes! I have bought several plans from them now and the quality is excellent, fast delivery, I really recommend them!
sincere regards,
Matthew

Hi Tam,
If you still want to build a Spitfire from Brian Taylor there now is a glass fuse for it in Europe too.
