An "internal walkaround" of a Spitfire Mark IX

[HaraldJoergens]

This might be of interest as a reference for a large scale model:

 

The interactive panorama shows a Spitfire Mark IX, TD314, built 1944 at Castle Bromwich.

 

The aircraft has been recently restored to the highest standard, the only not authentic part in the cockpit is the radio, and that's discreetly placed in the original map box.

 

The panorama is best viewed on a device with a mouse cursor - if you hover the cursor over an item of interest, a description and, for items out of view, a still photo will pop up. You can look in every direction, and zoom in to a very high level of detail.

 

You also can fire up the Merlin engine - just press the Engine Start button!
