I'm afraid I got my kit parts mixed up again. The fit was somehow a bit off.....



















Models: Hobbycraft & Airfix 1/48

Hm, yes. I can't say that cranked wings work too well on a Spitfire.

Elliptical wings on a Corsiar however, NOW you're talking.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

The Spit looks great.  The Spit wings on the Corsair give it a Brewsterish look.
The Leng Plateau is lovely this time of year

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I have something similar on my agenda, too, as a land-based F4U derivative, yet with P-47 wings and landing gear, because I think that the parts' size will be a better match for the quite bulky Corsair.

Verr good, but you missed the opportunity to put a huuuuger diameter prop on the Spit.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

The Spitsair is under-powered & the Corfire has far to high a wing loading BUT ,,, !


They both look bloody good! :thumbsup:  ;D

;D  Either that, or give it an even shorter landing gear?

Wasn't there an inverted gull-wing proposed for a Supermarine naval fighter in the late 30s?

Supermarine Type 224 was designed as a replacement for the Gauntlet
