Supermarine Spitfire Mark XII (griffon powered)
This is another varient of my previous spitfire. It features clipped wings and a Griffon engine. It's topspeed is off by about 10 mph, of about 460.
It also has 2 slowed cannons for realism, and 2 4 50cals. Enjoy!:)
The Rolls-Royce Griffon engine was designed in answer to Royal Naval specifications for an engine capable of generating good power at low altitudes. The concepts for adapting the Spitfire to take the new engine had begun as far back as October 1939; Joseph Smith felt that "The good big 'un will eventually beat the good little 'un." and Ernest Hives of Rolls-Royce thought that the Griffon would be "a second power string for the Spitfire."[1] The first of the Griffon-engined Spitfires flew on 27 November 1941.Although the Griffon-engined Spitfires were never produced in the large numbers of the Merlin-engined variants, they were an important part of the Spitfire family and, in their later versions, kept the Spitfire at the forefront of piston-engined fighter development.

@ToboTheHobo77 the griffon spitfires look like this, clipped wings with quad cannons and a new engine the mustang looks way different
Lol whatππ @ToboTheHobo77
I would say nice spitfire but that would be a lie. it's clearly a p51 mustang. but hey, nice p51 mustang tho.
Sweet I made a cool spitfire too
@Cjredwards ya, i have already made a tao symbol decal for my sis (tao is her fave member of her fave group) and i am currently working on more decals.

The way you named the made me realise that the thing that I want to see most in simple planes, is a spitfire being pulled by a team of Griffins
nice! (i recently got nudge controls so you're gonna see some cool stuff from me soon. [cackles evilly])
