It's the cover of a cooler, not the carburator.

Indeed, because of the way HTC mapped the wingtips, it is possible to clip the V's wings by adding an alpha bitmap, but not without causing that small glitch on the cooler. If you don't like it, all you need to do is delete SPIT5SD_a.bmp from the directory. With luck, HTC may decide to remap that area and then we turn out clipped-wing spits until they actually model one!

Yep, expect a Mk V of Clice Caldwell presently. I'm going to take a break for a few days from skinning, I've just uploaded 2 spits plus the custom cockpit set, so frankly I've had enough for a bit! When I get back to it I'll make that my next one.

Fidd,

My uncle flew with W/C Gleed in WW2. Of all the Winco's he flew with, he said Gleed was the best combat pilot he ever had a chance to wing with. Hope this skin makes it into MA.
