Quote from: Daryl J. on December 02, 2012, 05:57:14 AMPerhaps it would progress in a longer, wider, stronger way like the Hurricane/Typhoon/Tempest/P.1030 did, but in a Spiteful sort of way. Late-model Spitfire or Spiteful with a RR Eagle piston engine? I know Hawker drew up a Tempest variant with one.

If jets hadn't made it, would turbo-prop engines ? just a thought.
Dibs on the 1:48 new tool Airfix Spitfire PR.XIX UAV! No....not really. If anyone else is looney enough to do that before I do, please feel free to do so. :)"Construction began in the usual way be removing the cockpit". Yep. That'd be good.
OMG!!! What have you done to that gorgeous airframe? Perverts!!!
Peter Burstow's Spitfire F.22 on floats what-if built from a 1:72nd scale Hawk (Testors) kit uploaded to Modeling Madness. Tiny, nice and shiny! Such a simple little conversion and it looks quite convincing. Hopefully Peter has more of this to share with us in the future.

Thanks man! So I don't need to move nor can I move it apparently...interesting... Always thought any sort of intake scoops on the undersides of float planes were problematic. Wonder if it had to do with the height of the floats on the Floaty Spits? They seem to sit up a lot higher then most other float planes. Hmmm...
