I agree. I was mistaken. That's what I get for posting without looking carefully source materials first. There are lots more internal and external 3d changes than I first imagined.
Apparently, there are some mapping problems on the Mk. V skins as well, which make it difficult to make good skins.
Arguably, the Mk V Spitfire could be used as a base model, but it wouldn't be nearly as simple as I thought.
But, what might be simple to do is create an "A Wing" Mk. V Spitfire, as were used in 1941. That really would just require simple modifications to the wings. FWIW, Douglas Bader was flying a Spitfire Mk.Va when he was shot down.
Were a Mk I Spitfire added to the game, the logical version to add would be the MK. Ia, brought up to June 1940 production standards (3 bladed constant speed prop, rearview mirror, 2-step rudder pedals).
Other than that version of the Mk. I , the only other early Spitfire version which was built in significant numbers is the Mk. II, which was commonly used in early 1941. The Mk. IIa could use the "A wing" of the Mk. Ia, while the Mk. IIb could use the "B wing" from the Mk. Vb. But, both versions would need 3D changes to cockpit and fuselage.
