In the summer of 1939 an early Mk I K9788 was fitted with a new version of the Merlin, the XII. With the success of the trial it was decided to use this version of the Merlin in the Mk II which, it was decided, would be the first version to be produced exclusively by the huge new Lord Nuffield shadow factory at Castle Bromwich.
Chief among the changes was the upgraded 1,175 horsepower (876 kW) Merlin XII engine. This engine included a Coffman engine starter, instead of the electric system of earlier and some later versions of the Merlin, and it required a small "teardrop" blister on the forward starboard cowling. The Merlin XII was cooled by a 70% to 30% water glycol mix, rather than pure glycol used for earlier Merlin versions.
In early 1940 Spitfire Is of 54 and 66 Squadrons were fitted with Rotol manufactured wide-bladed propellers of 10 ft 9 in (3.27 m) diameter, which were recognisable by a bigger, more rounded spinner: the decision was made that the new propeller would also be used exclusively by the Mk II. This engine/propeller combination increased top speed over the late Mk I by about 6-7 mph below 17,000 feet (5,200 m), and improved climb rate. Due to all of the weight increases maximum speed performance was still lower than that of early Mk Is, but combat capability was far better. The Mk II was produced in IIA eight-gun and IIB cannon armed versions. Deliveries were very rapid, and they quickly replaced all remaining Mk Is in service, which were then sent to Operational Training Units. The RAF had re-equipped with the new version by April 1941. The Rotol propeller units were later supplemented by de Havilland constant-speed units similar to those fitted to Mk Is.
A small number of Mk IIs were converted to "Long Range" Spitfires in early 1941. These could be recognised by the fixed 40 gal (182 l) fuel tank which was fitted under the port wing. With a full tank manoeuvrability was reduced, maximum speed was 26 mph (42 km/h) lower and the climb rate and service ceiling were also reduced. Several squadrons used this version to provide long-range bomber escort. Once the Mk II was taken out of front line service, 50 of them were converted for air-sea rescue work, at first under the designation Mk IIC (type 375) but later referred to as the A.S.R Mk II. The Merlin XII was replaced by the Mark XX, a "rescue pack" was fitted in the flare chute and smoke marker bombs were carried under the port wing.
A total of 921 Mk IIs were built, all by Castle Bromwich. A small number of Mk IIs were converted to Mk Vs.

Can't take off normally nor can land (landing gear gets destroyed)
@Tully2001 Oh, no wonder I waited a month with no reply....
I have created it a while ago but waited for a confirmation, I will be off for a long time again....
Hey, @MasterManufacturing , is it okay if I post this with added camo and some other changes to make it better? if you would like me to link you to it as unlisted please let me know.
i did some research on cooper, didn't really find many things only that he was the 3rd biggest player and that people wanted the debs to contact him. @Tully2001
ehm im sry i have no idea, i don't even know if i had an account when that happend or was active. @Tully2001
According to John his acount was glitched what caused it to be deleted i gues and the devs rebooted his acount @Tully2001
Ehm whats his name, i dont think i know him @Tully2001
If u cant acces someones acount its deleted, but the planes stay there, like with john, you could get to his planes but not his acount@Tully2001
Wait I'm speaking English though

Why are you saying what it's pretty clear stated isn't it
@Bundoman What?
I use iOS any suggestive mods that will work and I know this is out of blue but what I mention was it don't fly as good as other models but great on replicating it MasterManufacturing
@MasterManufacturing Np
@RhysBrown Thanks!
@MasterManufacturing you just earned a new follower
@MasterManufacturing NP
@RhysBrown It does turn great, and both of them have an odd and gorgeous beauty when doing hammerheads. Also thanks a lot!
@MasterManufacturing I hope it flys like the real spitfire does, the real one handles like a dream does this? Not got my tablet or laptop on ATM so can't tell :(
