Spitfire Mk VIII line schematic - Aircraft of World War II

HI

Trying to track down a good line drawing of a Spitfire Mk VIII set up for the tropics, any one have one?

Seem very hard to find. Waiting on some replies from a UK blueprint mob, but nothing as yet.

Help appreciated.

Think all MkVIII,s were setup for the tropical climates as the majoritory of them were used in Asia or the South West Pacific defending Australia.Best site for them is here but you have to be a member..

There's a chap on here called Clave
he does alot of top line drawings - if he's not up you could alert him with a PM and ask if he's got a Mk VIII lying around anywhere

Spits- rejoined that site the other day but have only 1:48 scales plans that are not much good when you blow em up to A2 size in photoshop.

Coiln1- thanks mate will give him a try.

Barrakooda, you should inquire here about the VIII,

The brother has a set of 1/5 Spit IX drawings and they are magnificent.
