Didn't see action in WWII. Fairey Firefly would be a better choise.

It's one pretty plane indeed!

It entered service after the war IIRC

about the never saw combat the spit 16 only saw 6 sorties
so i think that even if a plane saw little or no combat it could work as an edition

There were over 1.000 SpitXVI's produced (MkIX with a Packard built Merlin 266), 6 sorties for that amount of planes doesn't seem feasible. I suggest you check your source.

Spit XVI's had thousands of sorties.

I have no idea where you got the idea they had only six, but you are flat wrong.
