[Father Ennis]

I agree with zenrat ,if it looks right it is right.   So just follow your Muse !!!

Thanks for the positive comments gents
Smallish update:



You might be able to see the enlarged radiators, and you can definitely see the cardboard mock up of the fins,



Does the bottom fin make it look to big/heavy at the back? Aka (does my bum look too big in this?)

great job fairing the rear engine in 
i wish youd moved the wings aft though its gonna be a real tail heavy bugger as it is

2 Griffons increased the speed so much... the Air Command asked Supermarine: what-if you install FOUR Griffons?

Thanks!

Just make the horizontal tail surfaces bigger and say the added lift corrects it.
The boys at the engine plant will have to work even more overtime!

lol i didnt realise the tail gave much lift i always thought the tails were fairly nuetral

I'd make the top fin a bit larger, and reduce the tail a tad, not too much though, Looks great and a great place to stick the tail wheel...

Actually tailplanes usually give negative lift to aid the stability of the whole aircraft.

Good work so far.
I'd lose most of the bottom fin, leaving just a small triangle, make the horizontal tail surfaces wider and add fins at the ends.
But that's going away from the Spitfire look a bit more.

I might have a cunning plan for the wheels.....
of course if it doesn't work, wheels up is always an option
