I found www.checksixplans.net with a glow 0.26 (about 4cc) I don't know them but others might be able to tell you how good or not they are.

If you are a experianced scratch builder, these plans are a good starting point.

Clive Smalley did a 35" version in RCM - plan #987 $9.00 (March, 87)

If you want to build a sp 400 version, here's how to do it. Buy one of the K&A Spitfire 22 models with the beautiful fibreglass fuselages. That fuselage is a far better model of a Spiteful than it is of the Spitfire. I talked to Ken Williams of K&A at the San Diego Winter Electrics and he admits this. He said he is planning to release a kit of the Spiteful using that fuselage with a new wing. Failing that, buy or find a copy of the free plans published in one of the Traplet publications of a Supermarine Attacker jet (Chris Gold's design). Supermarine used the Spiteful wing on the Attacker so the Attacker plan's wing, slightly scaled up to fit the K&A fuselage will produce a delightful model of a little known (and very cool) British fighter.

I'm surprised for such a quick answer. Many thanks to all.
I own the Clive Smalley plan & want to build the model as a scale, so I was looking for info on the true Spiteful, both good plans (including sections), pictures & colour profiles. As far as I know, the body is the same as the Mk.XIVE, wich is an easier subject to find.
I'm gonna look now for this links. Regards,

I can't say that I agree that the Spiteful used the same fuselage as a Spitfire XIV. I'm no expert and my reference is the old Harleyford book "Spitfire-The Story of a Famous Fighter", but the book states and 3 views clearly show that the Spiteful and Seafang had a deeper fuselage with a larger tail. Both aircraft had a different, more angular wing and were clearly new designs with only a superficial resemblence to the Spitfire.

Gerry, the Spit book by Stewart Wilson states that, being the wings completely different, the body is taken from the XIVE (E for the buble canopy), XV (Seafire) & 21. Maybe I should have a look on another books...
