The original design for the Spitfire was for 4 guns and had to be inceased which was a good thing.
Interestingly they also reduced the size of the fuel tank, I think by about 20%, which was a mistake the RAF paid for many times over. It would have made a big difference

Certainly the cross-section of the wing main spar is what I have been looking for.
