No doubt.  I had the figures in a previous post, but the P40N was Curtiss's last attempt to make the fighter "war-worthy".  There were something like 3500 built.  360 mph at 12Kish, max ord of 1500 lbs.  Only problem was that the P51 and later model P47s were out by late 1944 when the N was being delivered.

Kev, without a 1941 109F-2 or a 1942 Fw190A-2, why would you want to see a 1941 Spit Vb? What would you match it against?

Do you see any requests for the 109F-4 to be replaced by a 109F-2? I don't.

Makes more sense to just add the drop tank option to the Spit Vc we have, label it properly, and your done, unless HTC is going to add a 1941 LW fighter.

I was only looking at a Spit lineup, to be honest I don't know enough about 109s to make a guess at a good range for them.

What's wrong with the Vb - F-4 matchup?  They were contemporary opponents and I think that would be a good matchup.

Skydancer, someone from HTC has already stated spits and 109s are next.

Pyro can now model a clipped wing spit, i know he wants to.:)  Mmmmm.....spits.

Maybe he is thinking of the very early Spitfire Mk Vb with the fabric control surfaces, float carburator and Hispano Mk Is rather than the more common Spitfire Mk Vb with metal control surfaces, improved stopgap carburator, Hispano Mk IIs at +12lbs boost.

I still like the list I posted in the Aircraft and Vehicles forum:

Spitfire Mk Ia (+12lbs boost)
Spitfire Mk Vb (+12lbs boost, metal control surfaces)
Spitfire F.Mk IXc (Merlin 61 at +15lbs boost)
Spitfire LF.Mk VIII (Merlin 66 at +18lbs boost and full span wings)
Spitfire F.Mk XIV (Griffon 65 at +21lbs boost, perked)
Spitfire LF.Mk XVI (Merlin 266 at +25lbs boost, clipped wings, lightly perked?)
Seafire L.Mk III (By far the most common wartime Seafire)

That gives a usable Spitfire coverage for any theater and any year of WWII.

Spit XVI lightly perked? your having a laugh. Only a Merlin 266, not a Griffon engined spit.
