It is a Spit MK XIVc powered by a 5 blade prop with a RR Griffon engine.  The two air intakes on the wings plus the one under the engine give it away. ANd the Tear drop canopy.

Hi All,
 I would have said definately a Spiteful, I think the central intake under the front of the wing gives it away. I'm sure the Seafang did not have this but had the intake directly behind the Spinner moulded as part of the nose.

I always liked this plane but it wasn't all that great flying an aircraft so was not accepted into production as a Spitfire replacement.

ANd i agree with Wilbuz, it's ugly. But atleast it doesn't shine in aluminium. ;)

Non-griffon Spitfires are ugly, this thing looks great!
