File Name: Spitfire Mk.XIV Prototype JF316 File Submitter: 96th_Nightshifter File Submitted: 17 Jul 2006 File Category: Spitfire Skins 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.

File Name: Spitfire PR Mk.XIX "Flying Spyglass" DJ0021 File Submitter: 96th_Nightshifter File Submitted: 17 Jul 2006 File Category: Spitfire Skins 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.

File Name: Spitfire Mk. XIV MV268 File Submitter: 96th_Nightshifter File Submitted: 16 Jul 2006 File Updated: 16 Jul 2006 File Category: Spitfire Skins 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.

File Name: High Speed Spitfire N.17 K9834 File Submitter: 96th_Nightshifter File Submitted: 16 Jul 2006 File Category: Spitfire Skins High speed spitfire N.17 K9834 Serial: N.17 (K9834) This aircraft was modified for attempt on the World's Speed Record powered by special Merlin III with + 27 lb. boost producing 2160 hp at sea level. Subsequently rebuilt to Mk.II standard and camouflaged through which the gold stripe eventually appeared. Obviously we don't have this Mk. of Spitfire in the game, and though the MK.Vb would have been a closer resemblance, mapping problems and the fact that this is supposed to be a fast plane made me go with the MKVIII (CW). It will fit the standard MK.VIII but the wings are different on this High Speed Spit and more closely resemble a clipped wing version. No mark version included.
