Ranwers mod pretty much simulates the Spitfire with the Merlin 61/63 except for those airframes converted from Vs.
The model would also work with just some minor visual changes for the converted Vs - mostly just the cannon blisters and identification light.
They would need different flight models as well.
But would it be possible to accurately represent the 'c' wing for the IX? In other words to have both the options of the 2 cannon four machine guns or the four cannon model?
The disadvantage to the four cannon model would be that it would only carry a bomb under the fuse, and not under the wings like the 2 cannon model.
Would be good if that could be done for the VIII as well actually......
I have a fair bit of data around (love the Spits
) but I don't have a scanner, so it may be difficult to get it to you. At least in graphical form.
Just a quick comparison between the V and IX.
