In the end it is only a model built by one man on his own and not a scale replica. I like it the way it is.

I am fully aware of aircraft markings, which includes actual photos of the RST 'Stanford Tuck' Spitfire, which were taken just after it crash landed as shown in the photos below also shown in his book... rest my case...if you are happy as is then it makes no difference to me either way, just a matter of pointing out fact!
