I decided to extract some files and see if it's possible to change the cannon blisters to the larger C wing type. Unfortunately, it's not possible to do this without reverting to the Mk Vb cannon fairings also. This is because the wings are devided in 3 parts - inner, middle and outer - and the cannon blister and the cannon fairing share the same part of the 3D model.



The early carburettor intake is easy enough to add but for some reason this also changes the windshield/canopy to the Mk Vb version. Shown below is another problem with the C wing - the Vb oil cooler is also part of the inner wing 3d model as with the cannon blister and fairing.



One other thing I looked at are the elavators which I'm unsure about but I think they should be the earlier design as the early Mk IX is essentially a MK V airframe. Again, easy enough to change.



Anyway, it's pretty late and I'm supposed to be up for work in a couple of hours so that's all I've been able to do so far. Of course, Ranwers has an early Spit IX mod and he'll most likely know how to address the issues I've found.

Basically we need the rudder, elevators, cannon blisters and carburttor intake from the Mk V while we want to keep the symmetrical radiators, cannon fairings and canopy from the Mk IX.
