The Spiteful and Seafang fuselages had the cockpit raised a little, which might improve visibility.

I've always wondered why Supermarine didn't use the Spiteful fuselage on the Spitfire instead of messing around with the F.23 like they did.

I think the Airfix 1:48 Seafire 47comes with some extra wing bits. Does anybody produce a 1:48 Seafang or Spiteful?

Trumpeter does, I've got them in my stash (part of the very few 1/48 kits I have)

Agreed. A Spiteful fuselage with F.22 wings would've got Supermarine to a better place quicker than them faffing about with the 'Vickers Valiant'.

Love your hybrid build! I had an early-war whack at the Spiteful-with-Spitfire-wings concept. And, it turns out, that was almost a decade ago ...  :o

My Seafire 45 hybrid is based on a Mk.21 but with the Spiteful tail group.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.
