SnapAddon: SUPERMARINE Spitfire F Mk.XIV (circa 1944)


The Spitfire XIV was essentially an intermin stage of development of the 
Griffon-engine fighter and with refinements would eventually emerge as 
the Mk 21. In early production form the Mk XIV entered service in January
1944 with the "B" -wing armament configuration having two 20-mm cannon 
and four 0.303-in (7.7-mm) machine guns for which this craft represents. 

But was later standardized with the "E" -wing when substituting a pair of 
.50-cal (12.7-mm) guns for the above quartet as already being available 
when using ECAPanels Spit Mk XIVe. In addition, a clipped wing version to 
help out those immersive "anti-diver" patrols has also been included with 
this same gun armament. Plus an interesting note was that over 300 German 
flying bombs were destroyed by the Mark XIV.

Original FM and loadout configurations borrowed from the Panels default
