Khemedi Spitfire conversions (Tintin 15)

Right: PR.IV (Herge based this on a photo of a Mk.I, I've flopped the picture to show the oil cooler and radiator on the correct sides. Interestingly he's extended the intake maybe to emulate a tropical filter - something the Blue Rider team missed). Center: PR.XI with Aero-Vee. Insert Mk.VIII low back prototype (first had a round tail) without cannon. Left: Only just discovered that the drawing is completely different in the 1949 version. First thought is that it looks like a Seafire Mk.III as many had Aero-Vees and 6 firshtail exhausts but more research is needed.
