I've pretty much done my Airfix Spitfire PR19 and I'm ready to do the decals but both the kit decals and the xtradecal set i have don't have generic Spitfire markings. What i want are the black lines on the upper wing surfaces and sll the various wordings such as 'no step' - Does anyone know where I can get this kind of thing?
Also, I'm intending to get the new Airfix Mk IX but the lack of any cockpit details is dispointing. I'm not after any mega detailed cockpit but I would like something in there even if its just the bulkheads, floor, seat and stick - any ideas from anyone?
thanks
Mike

Mike, PM me your address, and I can send you the cockpit of my Tamiya Mk.I, and its stencils (I built it with a Aires cockpit, and as an early PR I that didn't have the stencils).

Yeah i know - I just got the Mk IX today. The cockpit is for the Mk IX and the generic decals are for the PR Mk XIX.
Yes both kits are the new tooling. I've got some photos to post of other subjects first and I'll post pics of the new Airfix ones when they're both finished. Overall I'm happy with the 2 new Spits - a vast improvement over previous ones and fair value for money too.
thanks
