Yech.

Go fly a P-51 if that's what you want (besides, no Spit was silver during the war and that is a 1945 Spitfire Mk XIV, we've got a much more usable 1944 Spitfire Mk XIV).

I agree with furball. only paint it in war paint.

A bubble canopy Spitfire LF.Mk XVI would be good though. Would that satisfy you Spit/P-51 abomination lovers?

Clipped wings too please.

i didnt mean the paint scheme, i meant the clipped wing, bubble canopy low level spit XIV. this would be more suited to AH than current version because most dogfights happen at low level.

Yeah, I was surprised it didn't looked like that, shape wise.

With this characteristic shape, you can even loose the perk icon, and make it more enjoyable to fly in the MA.

Think we have to many spits already

thrila · « **Reply #8 on:** September 12, 2002, 08:07:38 AM »

too many spits? We need atleast one more, a 43/44 spit. A clipped wing spit LF XVI would fit the bill.

lovely pics, shame HTC didnt model the right XIV

Yep the bubble canopy XIV are the best.

What we really need is a Spit with Merlin 66 or 266. So common in the war but not represented here.
