The 10th F. 21 produced, entered service with No.1 Squadron too late to see combat service, but enjoyed a long post-war career of air racing and gate-guarding. Currently resides in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow.
 
I've taken great care to completely retexture the wings, which normally use the incorrect F. XIV template. All panel lines have been redrawn and are more or less accurate; ailerons, flaps and cannon all match up with the skin. I have a new template based on Nightshifter's, but I won't redistribute it until I have permission.

Thanks so much for this accurate skin for my favourite Mark of Spitfire, before the big tail ruined the looks (though I concede that torque control was easier) and the muscular Griffon up front. Great work.
