Hi Oleg,
Lovely shots, very excited. I have a question about your Spitfire model, it has chord-wise stiffeners installed above the main wheel wells, I had thought these weren't installed until later in the war, predominately on Spitfires involved in dive bombing, due to stresses involved during high g pull outs. Photo evidence would have it that the average Mk I/II Spits did not have them during the Battle of Britain, although they could have been retro-fitted after the battle as the airframes aged. The Spit Mk I at the IWM in London has them, but also carries late war roundels which suggests the stiffeners were added later.
