Andy,
There's a Seafire XV at Yeovilton of course but modelling a XV opens up the 'was there a cowling bulge on a XV' question again. Yeovilton's sample doesn't have one, but Spitfire XIIs did and some photos of XVs show them clearly.
Shouldn't the lighter grey on the XVII be Sky though? Ito San makes the same mistake with his Wyvern and Gannets.
Oh yes, there's a good idea! The XII has always been one my fave Spitfire Marks. Sort of low level hot rod of its time........AndyG wrote:
But overall it doesn't look too bad (certainly better than my Seahawk does at the moment :sad: ) and there is also the possibility of a little reverse engineering to produce a Seafire XV and even a Spitfire XII!!
