LOL search is your friend.  And if you really want to get me started,  I can talk Spit XIIs forever :)

While it's my favorite bird of all time and I'd love to see it, I'd rather the modeling time went to other birds as HTC has done a good job with a nice representative Spitfire line up with the I, Vb, IIc, VIII, IX XIV and XVI.

Think Spit XVI performance in 1943 with the XII.  The XII was clipped from the start in production and had the tall tail to fight the torque of the Griffon III/IV engine it carried.

I've corresponded with or met in person 5 of the 7 pilots flying those XIIs in that photo.  A real cross section of the Allies in that pic.

EB-B is Don Smith an Aussie,  EB-D is Don Tebbit an Englishman, EB-H is Ross Harding, another Brit,  EB-E was Bill Stowe's bird, He's Canadian, and EB-K was Herb Wagner's bird, a Yank with the RAF.

I'd love a XII!  But I'd also like to see other birds to fill out the plane set first :)
