Hi Thomas! Yes the code is the correct size. Today's progress. I added brake lines (a first for me)

Daz, is the aircraft code the correct size? Looks a little bit large for this small fuselage. Just wondering.

Thank you for that image Stik. Something about misinterpreted orders I believe? 32 Sqdn also had oversized codes on their Hurricanes.
Right so the aerial is done from stretched sprue, and I've done the rear view mirror using reflective tape. I think it looks ok.

Wow. I guess you learn something everyday. And here I thought those codes were way to big.
Very nice work on the Spit!
