Hi all i'm setting this up as a build forum for the revered or reviled (your choice) Airfix 1:24 scale Spitfire. Mk Ia but i need a bit of help.
I'm actually making a very special spitfire for a commission of the family of A. Taylor Flt Off RAF (although he was a Kiwi) which crashed killing the pilot in 1941, there have been two aircraft designated DW-P so it gets confusing as to which one crashed when (the first DW-P was a MK Ia brought down in the battle of Britain in 1940)
There are two accident reports one says he was stunting and stalled the plane coming out of a spin recovery, the other says his oxygen was suspected to have failed and the pilot passed out and collided with the ground in a new vertical position. either way there wasn't much left of pilot or plane.
The Aircraft is actually a MK IIb which is all but a MKIa except for a few tiny details (props starter seats).
I have everything to create this plane except a special decal.
This spitfire was donated by the Belfast Telegraph (one of many) and as such has a special marking on it
DW-P had the following stencil
CITY OF DERRY
Belfast Telegraph Spitfire Fund
Some have the lettering in yellow some have it in white or a mixture of both.
I do not have Stencil letters small enough for this and i'm wondering if any of you capable of doing a small decal run for me could help out.
They looked like this.
I think they were on both sides???
Please help if you can or any suggestions how to do this would be help full
