Spitfire J

A Supermarine Spitfire refitted with early jet technology, drawing inspiration from the Gloster Meteor program, with a layout inspired by the MiG-9.

My goal was to keep the iconic Spitfire silhouette recognizable while integrating intakes, exhausts, and a radar-equipped nose. I added a Bf-109 X-0 jet fighter in the background.

Awkwardly, I only realised that the original tailwheel was obsolete after finishing this piece...
