Hi mate!

You have your point of wiew but if I remember right above there is a similar post and the reply is that the author know what he's doing so I think that the better way is to support him with our post , let him do it and...let comments for after the release!

cheers

PS - Remember that if he start from the IX this doesn't mean that he can't take better pieces from other Spit....

Yes, I suppose you are right, and the new canopy itself looks fantastic, so please don't think I am questioning VH-Rock's ability to model this aircraft.

Really, the only reason why I was a little dispointed when I first saw the mod was based on the MkIX was that I had decided, not long before I saw this, that I would try to model the MkXVI myself, and that I would use the MkVIII as a starting point. Since this mod is so far along now, it would be rather pointless for me to try to make the same plane, so maybe I will start with trying to build a Spitfire Mk21 instead.

Also, if VH is going to improve the MkIX model (for the high back MkXVI version) and the new bubble top MkXVI then much good could come from this because it would be possible to apply the improvements across the MkIX family as a visual upgrade which would be very welcome indeed.
