+96th_Nightshifter Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 View File Spitfire Mk. XIV MV268 Serial #: MV268 Model: FR Mk. XIV Status: Airworthy This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXIV Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKVIII (CW version) that we do have access to so this is what I chose to use. The only real difference in how it looks physically is that the real plane (having a Griffon engine) has distinctive raised elongated bulges just above the overhead valves which I have tried to fake onto the actual skin. The real plane also has a bubble canopy which I have also tried to fake onto the skin - it's not perfect as it's just not possible but from the right angle it works well enough. This plane was originally MV293/OI-C (which I have skinned previously) but was repainted at Duxford as MV268/JE-J in 2000 - (built in 1944) painted as MV268 as a tribute to the late Johnnie Johnson. Stick this in your "SpitfireMkVIIICLP" skin folder and you are ready to go - note that it will more than likely fit the standard MKVIII as well so you may as well put it in that folder too. Two versions; "weathered" and "Display" version both of which have no markings versions included. Full History included in the download. Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself.
