Lovely!!! A mix between a Spitfire and a Hurricane... nice idea!!!  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I'm thinking : in real world, would the spitfire wing have improved Hurricane performances??? This model is really beautiful...

There were attempts at a 'thin wing' Hurricane, but that led to the Tempest and Typhoon and finally the Sea Fury. But actually attaching Spitfire wings to the Hurricane fuselage was relatively easy in model form. I wonder if it could ever have been done in reality?

I don't know if we can say that the Typhoon was a "thin wing" aircraft :P
But well its interesting :P

Not thin as in 'razor' thin sense. But it was more laminar flow capable than the Hurricane. The problem giving a Hurricane a thinner wing would have resulted in less fuel capacity and a shorter range. OK for an interceptor but not so good for the multi-role combat aircraft it became.

Another masterpiece that has me wondering "why didn't I think of that?"

When do we get to see the Spitfire with the Hurricane wing?

Aircav mentioned this to me on tuesday - he was right, it is a "double-taker" Brilliant
