I have several 1:72 diorama models of Supermarine Spitfire at home (it was best looking aircraft according to my father who saw them flying during WWII) and even Mk I had bubble canopy...

Ahh... OK... I see... the "proper" bubble canopy would only be later war Spitfires, Typhoons, P-51D, later P-47D... etc...

Nonetheless even the Spitfire early "bubble" was so much better than German 109...

What do you mean thread brother Mynok?

The Spitfires had bubble canopy (but not made of one piece)...

Not until later marks, Leo.

I forgot the earlier models had the Hurri-style cockpit.

handed in my notice this morning.

Simon, what's a typical 'notice' term like in the UK? Here, it would vary between 2-4 weeks I would venture.

They *did* specifically state that 'you're a goner if a zombie bites you'. Love the use of the perjorative / slang for a CDC site...
