Andrew Jones Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) A few of you may know that I'm a bit of a Spitfire fan, but I also like a good What_if , and over the past few years a several of them have been Spifire based. so I give you ............... The 30 series Seafire, The Twinfire F52 The Miles/Supermarine PR1 The Supermarine Sirius high altitude fighter The Supermarine Eastfire long range fighter and last but not least The Supermarine Jetfire Hope you enjoy these Andrew Edited August 15, 2015 by Andrew Jones 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 These are really cool, love 'em! Jetfire has something of the 262 about it while the PR1 is utterly brilliantly bonkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Manfroi Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Very nice and unusual. I like all of them. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Very creative indeed, and excellent models as well. the Jetfire reminds me of the original Sukhoi Su-9 http://www.airwar.ru/enc/fighter/su9_1.html The 30 series Seafire is Merlin 60 fuselage with Seafire 47 type wings? the Miles/Supermarine PRI is fascinating, some of the ideas of the Miles company were explored in this collection http://www.ipmsstockholm.se/home/47-miles-of-scratchbuilding-part-2/ cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Nezumi Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Wonderful collection of what-if's! I particularly like the Miles/Supermarine PR1! Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Jones Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Very creative indeed, and excellent models as well. The 30 series Seafire is Merlin 60 fuselage with Seafire 47 type wings? cheers T Thanks Troy , yes indeed the 30 series Seafire is a MkXVI fuselage and a Mk47 wing , an interim type to give the Admiralty a Seafire with Mk IX performance , mostly due to unforseen delays with the Griffon Seafire.

Radpoe Spitfire Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 A few of you may know that I'm a bit of a Spitfire fan, but I also like a good What_if , and over the past few years a several of them have been Spifire based. so I give you ............... The 30 series Seafire, The Twinfire F52 The Miles/Supermarine PR1 The Supermarine Sirius high altitude fighter The Supermarine Eastfire long range fighter and last but not least The Supermarine Jetfire Hope you enjoy these Andrew These are some some very interesting concepts you've created Andrew, which look brilliant.My favourite by a long mile is the "616" squadron Jetfire. How different history may have been had supermarine got the contract for a jet aircraft instead of Glosters. Brilliant imagination + superb finish= great fun visually. Regards adrian P.s. How you fixed for doing a conversion set for the Jetfire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
