For anyone thinking of building and detailing a Spitfire I give you these two links. http://lyddmfclub.forumotion.com/t1864-nomenclature-and-rivets-for-spitfire https://www.google.com/search?q=spitfire+walkaround&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjP-tia6rzjAhUPXM0KHZQGC6QQ_AUIECgB&biw=1920&bih=941

Kevin,
Much of that scale detailing gets more difficult as the model gets smaller, as in CL. And they can be reasonably small. Like my Mig-3. This is why, with my graphics, I cater to the much larger R/C models especially the Warbirds.
There is a guy who has a graphics business and plays with R/C models. He offers "scale nomenclature" for a variety of models and sizes. I'm not sure but I believe he goes under "Pro Mark." For anyone interested. Google and you'll find him I'm sure.

Thanks for the tip Charles. I will check that guy out. Actually it's not so much the size of the graphics, for me it was finding the proper locations.

I just checked the link...they have a good diagram of where all the markings are located. 😁http://www.pro-mark.com/whats_new.htm

I'm glad to help. You have excellent scale ability and potential. H^^
Locations of that stuff can be found in books and on line. You really have to dig to get to find them.
Pro Mark has been digging for years and his efforts has brought him a good following.
Keep in mind, Pro Mark didn't invent where all that stuff goes, He did his research and homework. Not to mention the creation plus production of transferable material in scale sizes.
There's much more going on with graphics guys, including myself, than most could imagine. Why do you think I do large models? It's much easier!
