Thanks for the explanations about the seahawk derivative.
For the triplex Spitfire, I think I have seen it here in a topic of our dear member Vostoc7:

Takes a lot of work to make the Academy kit accurate....but a superb kit for whiffery. I see them selling regularly for under a fiver on the bay.

Love the Brazillian carrier flight deck......Now IMHO THAT is what the flight deck of our new carriers should look like NOT LM lemons!!

How about this M.C. Escher-esque CG creation? Can't help, but something does not match up...  ;)

You're not kidding, that must be a VERY flexible propshaft!  :o
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! :)

Matter of opinion.  Having whiffed my way through more Spitfires than hot dinners (and I've had a lot of them too), I wouldn't start with an Academy 14 unless I have to*.  Never, ever liked that kit.  There's something wrong with the fuselage that I just can't nail down.  And I dislike the fit too. Give me a Fujimi one, or an Airfix 19 mated to a fighter wing.  I'd even do the upgrade work on the old Frog kit.

*That said, I have two done, both with new wings as a Spitfire F21 and Seafire F45, plus two others converted to 21s that are yet to be finished.

The link below is to a youtube video of game reviewer NERD3 ("nerd-cubed") slagging off an utterly dreadful airport simulator game. Quite apart from the fact that it's highly amusing, it also has some very whiffy transport planes, seemingly with random collections of engines, in the first five minutes or so.

Weaver,

That's hilarious!  I feel sorry for the poor SOB who created that simulation as it's clearly a labor of love on that guy's part - but one that only a true fan of airport ops could possibly find enjoyable.

The L-1011 meets C-141 or 727 or DC-9 are most whiffy.

They also have the Original and Nu Gundam in 7upcolors.

I wish we could get that, I'll just have to settle for B&N selling them
