HiTech, Pyro, I have a request about the Spitfire MkXIV

[RAM]

Man, that Griffon engine **REALLY** Spoiled Spitfire looks

RAM,
I don't think so.

You said in another thread that you love Fw190s, but the ones you really like are the Fw190D-9s.  To me the long nose spoiled the Fw190s looks.

I feel the same about Spitfires as you do about Fw190s, including my preference for the late war Griffon Spits (as long as they are high backed).

Unfortunately, I will only get to fly them a couple of times a year if prices fall out where they seem to be heading.  You at least stand a chance of being able to fly the Fw190D-9 whenever you wish.

Summer'86, I remember as if it was yesterday...that was the first time I saw a picture of a Fw190, and it was a D9. The A series are beautiful, with an agressive look that never has been matched in other plane, IMO...but it can't be compared with the D9.

Fw190D9 is more stilish, but retains the agressive appearance of the 190...Man I love that plane  

the SpitXIV ,with that new cowling...nah, I dont like it. Merlin spits look better, IMO.
