Hi Nigel,

I understand your confusion about the inclusion of Mk VIIs on the sheet, but the title of the sheet is Spitfire MK IX SERIES (as in inclusive of all two stage Merlin Spitfires). I guess its a little confusing, but that was the intent.

Part 2 ins in the works now, so don't be surprised if there are other marks thrown in there for variety!

Happy modelling!

Hi Nick

That's because it's a low-level reconnaissance aircraft painted in PRU Pink (or similar):
