LATEST UPDATE:  I actually managed to make a change to the 3dz and added a retractable tail wheel!  The first Mk VIII models had the same "rounded" Mk IX tail.  I'm reasonably sure they all had retractable tail wheels.  Later versions had a more pointed tail as well.

As many know, this is one of my favorite skins.  James Yoon did the original work.  At my request, Jamie Richards reworked Yoon's art into the "AX W" Mk VIII.  I have tinkered with it considerably.  New, correct, landing gear by STAG and many skin details cleaned up by me. I have liberally stolen from so many to upgrade this that I can't even recall.  Certainly the art of Mosi, Flying Sheep, and E, at least, are also represented in my reworking (and several variations) of the Yoon-Richards classic.

Even with all the great new skins and models; this one remains one of my all time favorite.

The following are the original notes....




By Jamie Richards (aka "Fritigern") and James Yoon

This scheme represents the Spitfire VIII of Major Henry Gaynor, No 1 Sqn SAAF, operating in Italy, December 1943.  

This skin is, for the most part, a modification of James Yoon's excellent Spitfire IX skin.  The wing view is entirely his work.  

To install, just unzip the *.TPC files into your EAW directory.
