Supermarine Seafang mk 32 (export version)

30 cocojamFTW  8.8 years ago

*Redesigned from DeezDuck's Spitfire (A brilliantly designed platform)

The Seafang was essentially a Spiteful redesigned for Royal Navy carrier use, with the addition of an arrester hook, a contra-rotating propeller to eliminate engine torque effects, and power folding outer wing panels. Two prototype Type 396 Seafang Mark 32s were ordered on 12 March 1945 followed by an order for 150 Type 382 Seafang Mark 31s on 7 May 1945. To expedite entry into service the interim Mark 31 was ordered which was a navalised Spiteful, basically a Spiteful with an arrestor hook. This would allow the Mark 32 to be developed; it would be the definitive naval variant, again with an arrestor hook but also folding outer wing panels and a contra-rotating propeller.
(P.S. the plane tends to nose down on landing, please be aware)

    @DeezDucks Lol thanks, I believe the issue was that the name could not be too long so it didn't appear, placed it in the Description instead. I'm a big fan of your works and I'm currently trying to build some sort of Bearcat. Cheers and sorry for the inconvenience once again.

    @DeezDucks I actually did but it's not appearing. Its supposed to say "derived from DeezDucks spitfire" but it hasn't appeared, will be editing it ASAP. Thanks for the warning btw.

    P.S. Sorry about that.
