I know we've got dozens of spits, I know everyone thinks no-hopers fly them and I know there weren't a lot of them about but they have to be the #1 sexy looking fighters of WW2 - and that, imho means they deserve to be modelled.
Just think how much fun we can have posing over nme fields.

spit fire is kinda plain to be cooled sexy, alot more planes come to mine when the word sexy is used when describing a plane.

are you joking? most people around the world all say that the spit was the best looking plane ever designed. just look at all the joints and things, and it's like :O hubba hubba!

notice one thing....its not all the people in the world, its only you guys in england. The spit fire is tooooo plain. Theres no curves. Just straight lines. With out the paint job its hard to tell a spit apart from anything else.

I think it is just the English that love Spitties, *for the most part*. I don't mind them, but aesthetically, they're not the most pleasing.
I mean, it's like Fran Dresher... Parts of the package are nice, but then you get to the face and hair and voice.

No curves? Mayhap you were thinking the Bf109 is a Spitfire?
The wings are practically nothing but curves. The Spit has more curves than most WWII fighters by far.

i used to fly spits, spent alot of time lookin at it plus u see alot of them when u fight. Its not something ima paint on my wall or anything. The other problem with the spit that i kinda hate is the fact that its a dweeb plane takes away from the fighter, historically it was a very important fighter for the raf. I mean as soon as i stoped flyin it it was like a graduated.

I know what you're saying bk, but you're drifting off the thread to try and make a point. Spit is a dweebs plane because it's good - anyone can get kills in it. Same criticism can be made for any class plane - P51, Corsair, La7, 190 etc.
You don't need to hate them - get some perspective, relax, get some fresh air, pretend you're a neewb.
Put a spit poster on your bedroom wall & kneel before it every night chanting "why did Mitchell make you so beautiful?" and soon you'll be a blessed & chosen follower.
All I'm saying is it looks good - subjective? yeah, why not?
Regards

Ok the sexist plane is the Spit5 or the 38L with the 475th Skin
-
P38 just look at some of the skins it has, not just saying AH but historical as well. So purdy it is.

Just remember that the Spit carried the most important cargo of the war. Talk about beautiful curves :)

Bronk. Even better was getting to know the Spit XII drivers of 41 Squadron way back when at RAF Coltishall in 1986. Sadly it's been 20 years since this photo was taken and a number of those Spit drivers are no longer with us.
One of my all time favorite pictures as they let me in the photo. Talk about heaven for a then much younger Spit dweeb :)

Psst!
The 16 was just a 9 with an American made Packard Merlin 266. It was not a later Griffon engined bird like the XIV and 21.
Should really read
Spit I/II
Spit V/VI
Spit VII/VIII
Spit 9/16
Spit XII
Spit 14
Spit 21
That's if we're talking the wartime fighter variants :)
A nice looking bird regardless of the variant.

Anyone got some decent pics of bubble canopy versions please?

I just love the way the wing blends into the fuselage.
Also noticed this watching the program where they had pilots trying out to fly the Gracy trainer spit 9 is that the hood is pretty flat and wide at the top. I guess you dont see many pictures of that angle.
