I also fancy clipped wing Spits and have both the Dragon and GA versions.

I am not at all impressed with the quality control on GA models. I've had issues on all six of the first two waves. Not all major thankfully.

There is another preserved clipped wing Mk IX with the right rudder, perhaps Gemini's research team might want to check it out. Come on guys,there is enough material out there to enable any manufacturer to get their models correct!.

"The truth is out there"

I was going to dispute your info Battler but it turns out that you're dead right. 2I-V does have the rounded tail. Dug out some pics to confirm. The other one 2l-T, ML417, has the pointed tail. Bottom line, l absolutely agree with you!
