I’ve decided to model the Spitfire Mk.II. It’s my first real aircraft in 3D, so I hope to get some feedback later from blender airplane builders
I will try to make the final render using Cycles

I have already seen it on max3d.pl :). Show us a little bit more, please!
Hi Witold, the hardest part is searching for reference photos, it slows me down a lot because I want to make it realistic. There are several updates already and I’ll show more soon. Thanks for your interest
are you using photos or diagrams for reference
Photos and different plans/blueprints. Sometimes just the specified part isn’t visible. It takes some time but I will figure out what I can’t see
try old-school?
You mean small scale models as sources? Well, I use them too. I consider assembling one scale Spit later for fun, as I did yeeears ago.
Looking good!
Would this help?
Orthographic 3-view with dimmensions and major components labeled.
Minor note the Spitfire went through several design updates over the course of the war. For instance the C - E configurations (1943 +) had a 5-bladed propeller vice three and replaced the original wing-mounted browning .303 machine guns with the a set of Vickers XIV Cannon.
plrang: cockpit OK. I think that the upper aft part of the fitting between wing and the fuselage requires further work.
Hlynkacg: this is Spitfire Mk II (see the first post).
Thank You @Hlynkacg, and yes I’m trying to get close to the Mk.IIa as @witold has said. Those aircrafts despite of different versions had many modifications in between each model during the war so I just took one old photo and I try to stick with that particular machine.
Sure @Witold Jaworski, that wing is just a general outline yet, with only few simple details, will work on it soon. I prefer to not start with the details, otherwise I could stuck there
