The stinger rudder and tailhook can be made with some judicious trimming and sanding. But what Seafire version are you making with a Spit XVI?
It would be a F.MK.50.
The backgrounder. I am burdened with a Glorious Purpose to expand the Spitfire, Seafire, Spiteful and Seafang universe. Yes, I am a big Loki fan.
The starting point is any airframe not used by the RAF and FAA becomes is assigned an export model designation. The spreadsheet shows in glorious detail how I will shim in a lot more builds.
I skipped the the 20's and 40's as they are already in use. However I will be adding a few to these ranges.
The F.MK.50 is a Seafire based on the MK.IX / MK.XVI airframe but with a stinger tail hook. The Special Hobby kits come with lots of extra parts so that is the source of the tail hook. A very easy mod.
The differences can be by propeller, canopy type, tail type, wing type etc. Lots of combinations and permutations.
I take requests.
It is a work in progress.
