Something about the JF Spitfire doesn't seem right - too stubby so I installed about a ten inch plug ahead of the tail. Looks better to me.

You wouldn't think so; more likely an optical illusion on my part. Didn't bother until I started seeing the plethora of Spits on NZFF and they all seemed skinnier and longer in the section aft of the wing. Marty has all three (JF Realair and A2A) and is doing some comparative screenies for me.

I've heard of stretched limo's ... but a stretched Spit??? laugh.gif

To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have noticed - so your pic certainly looks "right" - optical illusion or not. Really nice angle too! Nice and green for Marty as well winkyy.gif

It's actually the same pic I posted under "Belly dancer" - just photoshopped an extension.
