I'm not sure what images you used as reference, but take a look at these: (URL) later variants of the Spitfire may have had the outward folding gear, but in all of the images I can find it features inward folding gear; exactly as you portrayed (...)

| (...) Great spitfire! You nailed the elliptical wing, and I like your use of SNOIT and non-standard techniques. The windshield is good, too. George (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)

| Gah! -Slams head on keyboard- You beat me to it! ARG!

| (...) Well, there's lots of ref online, naturally, and the plane has undergone plenty of subtle changes over its years of service. Thanks for the kind words, though. It's actually remarkably sturdy for the amount of SNOT incorporated. stuart (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)
