John Z.;
Nice to see someone else willing to get redical.  I am just finishing up my 
camo spit.  I have used an earlief desert pattern.  There are some very nice 
supermarine spitfire sites that helped.  I am using 18" roundels in vinyl 
(not cheap, but done locally VERYnice-this guy is a vinyl artist).  I have 
also used squadron and aircraft identification letters.  It has a 6" wide 
white stripe around its waist just behind the cockpit (this was used to make 
the plane more identifiable to friendlies.  It is painted in PPG Omni 
basecoat/clearcoat with about 8 coats of clear.  This was done because I am 
such a newbie to paint and I had to do alot of sanding and fixing.  If you 
would like I will send you a couple of very nice aircraft photos that I have 
found to help... Oh I will be taking picks of the car within the week or so.
