Well after a few "fun" Moments with masks and decals I think I pulled it off. I could not fine a wing commanders penant, so thats a bummer!
The kit is am ICM Spitfire IX Some run away from them but I rather like them. They just need building and not just sticking together. The detail is good and the shape is OK. A bonus is there are loads of extra bits, single horn and angled horn elevators, normal and the pointed horizontal stab. (rudder). So with a bit of searching, you can get quite a few Mk out of a single kit!
ICM decals are excuse the phrase Crap. The JE J is painted, the roundels from a Tamiya I have for spares, the serials are from a sheet of decals I found with er, serials on. lol
Nuff waffle here are the photos. Should you think that it looks like its covered in dust, or its been snowing, I got a bloom in the satin clear coat!!! I'm not into rubbing it down, so I'll live with it.

Paints are Xtracrylix, built OOB and some rather iffy harnesses out of masking tape!
Thanks for looking.
