If modded correctly then neither the Hurri I nor Spit I should have pilot armour. What few planes had armour plating for the pilot was field modified and certainly in france was back armour taken from downed 109s. Back armour for pilots wasn't universal in the Spit Mk II, either. There are instances of Spits going into 1941 without it.. I personally doubt the lack of back armour for the Spit/Hurri I was modelled...but I'll keep that opinion and where it was headed to myself.
But as mentioned above, why do we need yet another Spitefire when we are still waiting in things like the Lancaster and Wellington, not to mention the Do 17 - and what news of the Whirlwind?
