It is difficult to tell in these rebuilds but take it from me, the 109 is built for mass production whereas the Spit (and other British aircraft) is much more of a fiddly construction. Good job the Spitfire flew well though!

The Wellworthy piston is an unfinished forging for a late Merlin piston. As an aside, pistons were good for scrap-men, they are quality alloy and, if just boxed, they have no ferrous to remove-just toss ’em in the smelter. Partly for this reason, WW2 German pistons are rare, apart from those from crash engines, they were all smelted.

The markings on the Stuka mock ups are CGI
