I kept looking at this thread and thought: "That ain't no Spit 14! oh wait, it says 15. Dang nabit!"

But yes, Very nice. So I see you fixed the texture error with the canopy aswell which is nice. Aswell as the tail boom is actually merged and doesn't have a floating flat piece compared to Ranwer's IXe bubble top.

Lookin good so far.

Looks quite good from a distance. The decking just behind the headrest is absent however. Is this a franken project?

Nice work again, great to see the leaps and bounds you have made with your 3D work in the last few months

I've signed on to help with the classfiles, so hopefully we can get this mod rolling out in good time

[Zorin]

You do plan on remapping the whole fuselage?

VH ROCK, Looking amazing, only thing i can say is make the spinner black, I have seen 2 XVIe's in real life and both had black spinners!! Makes it look even meaner!!! Keep up the great work and Ill try to get ahold of those pics from ottawa of the XVIe from last month.

Looks amazing, is it a sin to like the bubble Spitfire more?

There was a commander in Burma that received bubble top Spitfire XIVs and demanded they be replaced by standard ones because they didn't look like Spitfires! :lol:

But...ARGHHHH... Spitfire IX mapping? that's going to be a pain unless we can just use the current skins.

Well done to rock who's been working on this all day, redoing the canopy and fuselage about 4 times now. The main model is done and this is the default skin that will be released with it, unless the model is changed again.

From what I've read, the latest Mark Spit to see combat was the XVI...

The last Spitfire mark to see service in the ETO was the F 21 - the so-called Super-Spitfire developed from 1943. It was Griffon powered (initially with 61 series engines) and had a completely re-engineered structure - most importantly, a much stronger and larger wing with squared-off tips. It only shared the cockpit bays with previous marks, everything else was redesigned. It had larger ailerons, thicker skinning and a wide-track undercarriage with 5 blade prop (or six blade contra-prop).

It was first issued to 91 Sqn in Jan 1945 and from April was used to shoot-up V2 launch sites in Holland. On 26th April two F 21s sank a German midget submarine as it left the Hook of Holland.

By the end of the war eight F 21s were fitted with Griffon 85s and six blade contra-props. The contra-props were used more widely on Seafire Mk.47s after the war.

The F 21 was what the earlier Mk XIV aspired to be. Though it was more capable than the Mk XIV, the F 21 was a late entrant to the war and not built in great numbers. To that extent it was similar to Germany's Ta 152 H and C.
