Thank you for your replies.
The Israeli Air Force Spitfires have been armed also with 80mm Oerlikon Air to Ground Rockets.
Can someone upload a picture or a drawing of this Rocket?

I'm new to the site and could use some help. I'm starting on a 1/32 Tamiya Spitfire MK IX. The kit has the C wing and I want to do one with the E wing. What I am looking for is a drawing of the ejctor port layout for the 20mm and 50 cal. guns If anybody has one I would appreciate it.
Thanks
 
In searching around the web I found what I was looking for and maybe these pictures will help some of the other guys.

So, if you use the 2x20mm and the 2x.50 cal, there are no .303s and the installation looks just like those in Post #8. In addition there are none of the little red squares covering the outer gun ports.

Is this correct?

(I'm making a model of a IXc and want a 2x20mm with 2x.50 cal.)
 
The MkIXc would have 2 x 20mm and 4 x .303. The MkIXe had the 2 x 20mm outboard, with the 2 x .50 cal Brownings inboard, without the .303 Brownings, therefore no dull red canvas patches outboard.
