If you're desperate, anything up to a mark seven can be modified fairly easily to represent a mark one. After that you'll have to start messing with radiators and stuff. Most of the changes up to that point were simply installing more powerful versions of the Merlin and adding or deleting things such as Coffman starters, metal ailerons, gun layout and the like. Obviously the earlier the mark, the less there will be to do though.
