Still dirtying it up a bit (but not too much, a Wing Commander has his reputation to uphold...)  ;)

I always liked the default skin the most for the Spit16, but I think this one beats it out.  :aok

Whoops!  Forgot some details, they're added now - canopy slide rails and quick release mechanism, gun camera port in starboard wing root, flare port (covered with fabric patch, never used at this stage of the war).

This could well be my new fav Spitfire XVI skin, great jobs. I don't know if I could give up my invasion strips though :(
