Spitfire wing

[tony8]

this may not be the correct conduit and i do not want to waste an experts time but i have a question about spitfire wings and hope someone will advise (or at least tell me where and how to fire the question?).

On certain real airworthy frames there are two bars or reinforcing spars on the top of each wing of Mk 2 or V. I thought these were repairs as a result of taxiing accidents (as opposed to a modern requiremenr or improvement ). Therefore why are these reproduced

(incorrectly) on some Airfix and other 1/72 models ?

This must have been mentioned before but i just cant find it .Please help?

I don't understand ???

You posted the same question (word-for-word) here on 8 November - and got a very comprehensive answer.

Why are you asking it again in a completely new thread ???

I'm confused....
