+96th_Nightshifter Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 View File Spitfire PR Mk.XIX "Flying Spyglass" DJ0021 Spitfire Mk.XIX 'Flying Spyglass' Unit: unknown Serial: A/Z (DJ0021) Reconnaissance aircraft. Spring 1945. This is a very unusual looking Spitfire and is very obscure, in fact I have only found one profile image of this aircraft to work from and can find out very little about it from my searches - wanted to skin it for those very reasons. This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXIX Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKVIII 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. Since it is a Recon Spitfire, I have also faked the cameras onto the fuselage and the underside of the airframe. In place of the reflector gunsight I have also faked the camera controls into the cockpit which can be viewed externally. Stick this in your "SpitfireMkVIII" skin folder and you are ready to go - note that it will fit the MKVIII Clipped Wing version as well so you may as well put it in that folder too. Three versions; "Marked","Roundels only" and "Unmarked" versions included. Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself.
