Not sure what tail stuff I have but can have a look to see what I could share over to you Stephen.
Spitfire Project starter kit 🙂
What Ive got..
Spitfire instrument panels by Herbert Puuka
Differences between the Mk versions of Merlin-powered Spitfires:
Mk I
Early oxygen regulator
hole for landing light
Gunsight and generator switch
One starter button
Fuel pressure gauge or warning lamp with adapter plate
Round temperature gauges
One or two round fuel gauges
Mk II
Early oxygen regulator
hole for landing light
Gunsight and generator switch
One starter button
Fuel pressure gauge or warning lamp with adapter plate
Round temperature gauges
Round fuel gauge
Hole for cardridge starter handle
Mk V
Early oxygen regulator
With or without hole for landing light
Gunsight switch
Two starter buttons
Fuel pressure gauge or lamp
Round temperature gauges
Round fuel gauge
Mk IX
Early or late oxygen regulator
Two starter buttons
Supercharger panel
Fuel pressure warning lamp
Round or rectangle temperature gauges
Round or rectangle fuel gauges
Conclusion:
After some time of research and collecting cockpit pictures I discovered, that the Mk V panels introduced the boost coil switch
and the hole for the cartridge starter handle disappeared. Together with the two-speed supercharger engines appeared the
supercharger panel of the Mk. IX and later Mks. The generator switch disappeared with Mk V, the gunsight switch with
Mk IX. I seem to have no picture of a metal panel so the change to Paxoline panels took place very early.

Control Grip info by Herbert Puukka
A.P.1086, Part 11E lists the following “ring control handles” for the Spitfire:
AH2174 for Spitfire IA, IIA, VA
AH8068 for Seafire, Spitfire IB, IIB, VB, VC, F.VI, VII, VIII, FIX, FXII, FXXI
AH2174 Spitfire IA, IIA, VA
AH8068 Seafire, Spitfire IB, IIB, VB, VC, FVI, VII, VIII, FIX, FXII, FXXI
AH2040 with brake lever: Hurricane, Battle, Fulmar, Lysander I and II, Skua, Swordfish and Whirlwind.
AH2242 Harvard I and II
AH8272 Firefly, Firebrand and Sea Hornet
The AH References are Dunlop’s own and they are usually to be found stamped onto the lower portion of the grip. The first listed one is for the classic round, pneumatic gun firing button, the latter is for the selective twin pneumatic switch.
If it is Spitfire it will have a brake lever on the back. No lever or mounting pin then again most probably a Canadian Harvard that had toe brakes.
Hurricane grips should have the pipe work external to the grip, i.e. it doesn’t go through the hole in the top of the control column.
A proper grip for the Harvard I and II should be stamped AH2242, a proper Hurricane, AH2040.
For the record, AH2040 also “fits” the Battle, Fulmar, Lysander I and II, Skua, Swordfish and Whirlwind
Knowing the work that goes into these planes,its a shame and with a bit of tinwork can be repaired..To the armchair experts get your butt out in the shed and build something for 28 years 😉
Definitely a two thumbs up on Gaining Altitude..A real pleasure to watch..
Yeah, and it was flying again by the next year as I recall.
Yes after a total strip of the fuselage 🙂
Nails on the SimHq Flightsim forum is building a very nice cockpit.

Damage might be worse than what they think also.Remember the Dr1 that got blown over by the Sea Fury at Duxford?
The calais Spit
A lot of the wing gusset plates in a spit are Stainless I think,especially on an early prewar built Spit.
If I remember correctly the Browning has a selectable rate of fire.

54Sqd MkVc Trop Spits in Australia
One of the issues that we’ve found is that there’s some overlapping terminology between surface modelling and solid modelling; in some cases the reference to solid model (from 3D scanning) is not actually a solid; it is a three dimensional surface model, and lacks an actual surface thickness of what is commonly referred to as a solid in CAD. When using this data to create a component (in the process we are following), your 3D surface will need some serious alterations.
Yes is best to get it exported as a solid entinty so you can take precise slicings at station lines then tweak the splines to get a smooth form 😉
Mk.Vb Trop EP706 (Castle Bromwich built) Rotol with straight inner edge and pointy longer spinner classic Vb is my guess
I thought all Trops had DeHav blades…
Anyone got a table for a MkV Spitfire Dehav prop blade?Need do a 3D profile for a replica blade.
