Spitfire racer 'Black Magic II'

After finishing my Bf 109K racer I thought I'd do a Spitfire to go with it. The victim was a Matchbox MkXVI/IX I'd had in the stash for a couple of decades. The cannon bulges were removed from the upper wing surfaces and when assembly was complete it was painted. As I had a spare set of decals from an Airfix DH.88 Comet I'd decided that it would be 'Black Magic II'. The underwing decals just about fitted but there was no problem with the rest of them.

A fine brush was used to add the 'II' after the name.

Hope you like it.

I do like it. It looks very smart in shiny black.

Maybe some JPS sponsoring needed...?

Funny you should say that, I do have a sheet of JPS decals that I could use on a sister aircraft.
