Actually I didn't pick up on that.
Were all Spitfire Wings metal (internal construction)?. Or were the early models, or late models, some wood (Think Mosquito, shortage of metals).
It really is an 'Experimental' if they used original plans but substituted metal for wood for the internal wing construction.
Still a nice looking Aircraft, that appears to fly well.
