I don't think it really matters what model you buy, because apparently you can specify a shape when he contacts you - it's just a case of sticker preference.
On my interpretation of the information on his website and FB page, there are two distinct models. The
Spitfire---a traditional, shotmakers bat, and the
Typhoon, a thick edged, modern, sub-continent type bat. The pictures show quite distinct bats (look at, eg, the triangulated toe of the
Typhoon vs the "normal" toe of the
Spitfire). If it were all up in the air, and one just chose stickers then why does his FB album have a
"Spitfire masquerading as a
Typhoon" with the explanation that he put the
wrong stickers on a
Spitfire? I suppose you could just ask to get a Spit with Typhy markings, and he might well do it, but I do not think that is his intent, or the norm.
I like the use of British WWII aircraft as names. His "bomber" special bat should get a better name, the
Lanc, the
Mossy, (both bat and plane made of wood)
Swordfish. Many good names in the hopper:
Hurricane, Tempest, Seafire.,
Firefly.
