Thanks, Red. I was lucky in that I have a good later war RAF day fighter scheme I have adapted from some work that DanMN did a while back. I have converted all my earlier spits to this template bar the Seafire VX which was the first to use it.
I then highlighted the area I wanted to change and used the hue map function in Paintshop Pro to get the right colours. I matched them to a scheme off the Aeromaster Decal site (toning down the colours a bit because the colour saturation on the site is too high).
Then I had to do the fiddly stuff like aligning the gun patches - but after a while you get quite good at doing these things by eye.
That Spit looks even better as it goes down smoking after I have pumped some MGFF cannon into it while flying the beautiful Bf109E-4
