Ready.

Fits all Vb's.

IX's will have gun port discontinuities.

If you'd like a III, Vc, VIII or fixed IX, let me know.*

Yeah, Stu!

Please send me in a skin for the Vb and VIII version with my star and the no. 14 on it? Is there a desert version of it available too?

I'll get on the VIII this week. Desert? I'll just use YOURS! ;)

Have fun putting numbers over the stretched area!!!

bwa-ha-ha-haaaa!

I have an old stencil jig* thingie that might help you there, but if I do a lot of member skins I just put the number under the cockpit.


thx,


Falcon

YOU were the one who asked for a shiny Spit!

;)

The Mk.VIII is wery, wery different from the Vb so it took longer than I though to do it.

WIP

Image

Still some issues, but should be ready soon.

Thx Scott. I'll send the Vb along after I finish this.

One really good thing about this wee project is that I got to update a very old template. If anyone would like a historic VIII, let me know.
