LOL.

Any whif suggestions from the King of Spitfires?

The PR marks - especially the early conversions - are exceedingly difficult, because they are what they are.  The PR.IV, XI and XIX are fairly easy - change the operator/scheme.  The PR.X is difficult as there's so few (only 24 were built) and all served over Europe.  The best I came up with was change the canopy to that of a PR.XIX and do it as a trials aircraft.

The hardest one of all is the PR.XIII as they were all conversions and there is so little information on it.  There are 3 photos of one but it's a prototype.

I've got a 1/72 PR.X and PR.XI, MPM or Special Hobby

Non vacform PR canopy?  Fujimi PR.XIX, MPM PR.XI and Airfix PR.XIX?

I meant the ones with the large side blisters on the canopy, as in the Sword kit.

The XIs and XIXs had the one piece windscreen, but not the side blisters, although I believe the canopies on them were more bulged than the fighter versions.

I believe it's actually the "Curtiss" Seamew that Sword is producing Kit, which did come with floats or wheels---

Aaaaw, that's not a REAL Seamew, real ones have single Mambas and ginormous wings (in area....) and fly slower than I can walk. 

I live in hope...........

It's going to be expensive and I'm trying (and failing) to cut my spending.

I thought that's what you meant, but thought I'd better check
