+96th_Nightshifter Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 View File Spitfire Mk.XIV Prototype JF316 Serial #: JF316 Model: Mk. XIV 610 SQN JAN.44 The prototype Mk.XIV (at least this one, for there were six built) was in fact a Mk.VIII airframe, to which the R-R Griffon 65 was mated. Later prototypes reflected the new fuselage with larger vertical stabaliser and rudder. 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 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. Stick this in your "SpitfireMkVIII" skin folder and you are ready to go - note that it will fit the MKVIIICW as well so you may as well put it in that folder too. Standard clean marked and no marked version as well as "weathered" marked and no marked versions. Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself.
