The spits were almost identical in looks.

Pretty much, apart from the later ones with buble canopies. They looked much better

DerAdlerIstGelandet · May 2, 2005

I agree.

Bigger?

Weight increased.

The wing stayed the same size. The fuselage got longer with the Griffon and the larger rudder.

Yes, genius, so they were bigger.

but how can they be bigger, the wingspan didn't increase, only the weight and length........

Exactly, longer = bigger
