My battle of Britain entry

*Was. My idea is that Supermarine had realised that the type 224 was flawed because of the evaporation engine, they then replaced it with a better engine (not sure which one) and evolution took its course and eventually gave birth to the Serpent

Great idea. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

That's the Steam-Cooled beastie?

It is, or was anyway, with the RR Goshawk engine.

I'll move it to another thread when it's finished me thinks

Good man! I did a Rareplanes vac one - my first vac! - but hacked off the exhausts and replaced them with triple-stack ones from a Spitfire Mk.I. In my world it went into service as the Spitfire and the later, elliptical-wing machine we all know was the Shrew. My Spitfire was a Regia Aeronautica one, because why not!

Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Wow, that sounds far more accurate

have you got a link to it?

and I couldn't bring myself to deface one of my spits, and I had a ruined hurricane used for testing purposes so I've used that instead

Damn it!!!

just when I think I've done something original, someone's done it almost 10 years in advance

its even a Mk. 3 as well

Wow Zac sorry I missed that one ! Love it ! And no worries, I`m sure this new one will fit right in here !
