Britman Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Beautiful job , a masterpiece. I have one query though. Would the canopy at that time have been of the flat variant? Keith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so some of these had curved style canopy. As you can see in the following picture (all of them are early spitfires with 2 blade propeller) first one has curved canopy but the second one has flat canopy. And here the original picture of K9906 with curved canopy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
