More Spits:

US has late war unperked fighters
Japan has a late war unperked fighter
Germany has late war unperked fighters
Russia has a late war unperked fighter
RAF has a 1943 Mk.IX and a 70-point monster I can't afford to fly.
(I won't mention the poor Italians though  ;))

Mo' better Spits!

How about these classic gems ?

 

 

 

I guess someone noticed Spit lacked proper markings and decent engine.

First Me-109's had a RR Kestrel so its only logical some Spits have a Daimler-Benz under their hood  :D

Ray Guy should be in the HOF.

xBAT
Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Lets concentrate on the essentials.  Every country needs a few basic typed of planes.  Thats means a fighter, a heavy bomber, a jabo, an anti-tank/attack plane.  The british have all but the anti-tank plane.  May i suggest a hurrican Mk. IID or IV?  Or a heavy german bomber--a Ju-388 or He-177?  Or a japanese bomber--u pick, im no expert here?  Or an american attack platform--an a-26?  Or SOMETHING for the Italians to work with?  Not to mention the Russians.  Lets concentrate on what the current lower end countries NEED, not what the higher end countries don't need.  A spit IX or Seafire IIC or Tiffie is fine.  Other countries need more planes DESPERATELY.

Commonwealth Boomerang?

 

You must be thinking of something else. The Boomerang was an early war stop-gap derived frome the Whirraway trainer, itself a derivative of the early North American T-6 predecessors.

the one i saw was a one of experimental plane. had a top speed of 450 miles an hr, it looked like the p-51 except skinnier and was made in 1946 mainly to show australia had the expertise to buld a frontline fighter.

i cant find a pic of it, but it had a bubble cannopy and the air intake was underneath the fuselage and it had a skinny profile like the spit.
