It's a shame that sheet isn't available in 1/72, or I would have snapped it up. Likewise with the F-104 sheet.
I don't build jets in 1/48 (with the excepetion of a single F-104 that I built about a year ago). I do build second world war fighters in 1/48. I have used the Victory sheet VPD48006 which has markings for 41 different Spitfires! I've built four from the sheet and have plans for at least another five.
The decals are very glossy and so will require a coat of varnish to blend them in with your chosen finish. When I first used them I was a little concerned because they look to be rather thick. Not as thick as Modeldecals used to be, but still noticeably much thicker than those produced by Xtradecal. However, I need not have worried. The decals respond very well to MicroSol. All in all I'm pleased with the Spitfire sheet and would recommend Victory decals.
This actually a multi-part challenge. Not only build the 1/48 version but to somehow scale the markings up to fit a 1/6 scale aircraft, turbine powered of course . I want to make it as accurate as possible including the under wing stores and cockpit. I have a few pictures that were taken in the late 60's of carrier Op's off the Bonnie Dick and would love to reproduce that aircraft.
Dozens of variants and sub-variants. Hundreds of colour schemes. Decades of service history, requiring a lot of research. Combat in four wars, again requiring a lot of research.
