Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XXIIb

Auto Credit Based on logizAircrafts's Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVIII

This model was based on GhostHTX's Spitfire Mk.XIV. The Spitfire Mk.XXIIb is my absolute favourite warbird. With a 2190 horsepower Rolls-Royce Griffon 12-cylinder supercharged/turbocharged piston engine, it had a ridiculously high (may I say brutal) acceleration (When in 100% or WEP) and was very fast and agile. It's agility comes from the plane's astonishing and recognizable eliptical wings. It performs better at medium-high altitudes (9000-25000 feet of altitude) and medium-high speeds (400+ km/h IAS / 230+ mp/h IAS). It could keep up with most planes in a turn fight (Except the A6M5, the Bf109, the Fw-190 and the Ki-61). It's weaponry was made of 4 Hispano Mk. V cannons. Flaps move with AG1 to the only position that they were able to extend to: 70 degrees or Landing Flaps. AG2 enables the ground steering. Have fun!

    @GhostHTX I did! Thanks for noticing! I've also shortened the nose cone and extended the wings a little. I'm really glad you like it!

    It looks very nice. Did you smooth out the tail fin? Overall an improvement over my model. Well done!
