There are two bits of that aircraft that are not duplicated anywhere...
Of course the elliptical wing planform.
But what really makes a Spit is that wing fillet on the trailing edge.

Had a play with the RealAir Spitfire today.

Thanks - I'll just drool a bit more here.
The RealAIr model is quite good - see in this shot the pilot is looking to his left, he's obviously on to something.
Control surfaces show a lot of deflection, so he's clearly in a hurry to get there, too.
And there's only one wing contrail, on the high lift side, great modelling touch
