Curt B Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Hi All, I keep asking the same types of questions here, and hopefully you all won't get tired of me! Now, I'm looking for a decal sheet for a 1/48 Spitfire that would have flown on D-Day, and had invasion stripes. Mind you, I am NOT looking for a decal sheet that has the stripes, rather, I'm looking for the other aircraft markings for a plane that would have had invasion stripes. I've read that Xtradecal may have a decal sheet that would be appropriate for this, but I've not found such a decal sheet. Also, of available airplane models, which Eduard kit would be best to use for this plane? I know that Eduard used to have a Spitfire that had the decals for at least one paint scheme that had stripes (the 1/48 Spitfire IXc late version [8281]), but that kit is discontinued and I can't find it anywhere. So, any thoughts on the right kit and the right aftermarket decals? Edited May 31, 2021 by Curt B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of their other releases featured this aircraft on their decals. I had the markings as a left over from my build. Good luck with the build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
