I can't make out the name on the side of the fuselage just forward of the wind screen... What does it say?

Based on classic photos of Johnny Kent flying that 92 Squadron early Spit Vb. Seems like thats a converted Mark I or II if memory serves.

I noticed in the cockpit shot it still shows 240 cannon rounds, even though 120 would have been what the Spit Vb carried.

Is it still the armament of a Vc in the body of a Vb?

Guppy.. is it just me, or do the nose contours look off to you?

The cockpit frames are too thin.

No its not. the cockpit screenshot is ZOOMED back so you can see the whole spitfire cockpit area.

The cockpit frames are fine. Thank God the new 51s and Spits haven't continued the too-thick-frame look of the FWs. Hopefully some day the FW frames will also be returned to a thinner standard of appearance.

If you really must have thicker cockpit frames, I suggest adding some masking tape to your glasses, in order to obtain the desired effect.

From that angle it looks way off. Way too boxy around the prop and too much of the upper cowl bulged out to make it look almost like it's covering a Griffon.

Compare to the real deal

Would be nice if we got the older style elevator on the I and V now.

As far as cockpits I think they look fine when the gamma is set properly in game, they are dark because of the screenshots.

"No its not."

Oh yes, it is.

Judging from the numerous c-pit fotos that is closest to real one.

"Hopefully some day the FW frames will also be returned to a thinner standard of appearance. "

The 190s cockpit is fine, ty. Lets get the other ones as good.

No you dweeb, the prop rotates!
