Hi all,
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...

Not a bubble, Leo. The definition of a bubble canopy is that it sits on top of the fuselage, allowing unobstructed vision to the rear. The Mk I Spitfire does have a bubble-like canopy, but it's in-line with the fuselage, and blocks the pilot's view to the rear.

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... [:D]

Hi all,

Guh...I thought spits had a bubble canopy. Wrong again. Love a spit. Respect a Hurri.
What do you mean thread brother Mynok?
The Spitfires had bubble canopy (but not made of one piece)...
Leo "Apollo11"
Not until later marks, Leo.
This type:
I forgot the earlier models had the Hurri-style cockpit.
