Vince Pugliese wrote, “Will’s Mk.IX Spitfire came out of the 1/72 scale
Hasegawa kit. He added lead foil harnesses to the cockpit and modified the wing
from the kit-supplied C type to the E type of the aircraft he wanted to model.
This included installing the clipped wing tips, which were provided as options
in the Hasegawa kit. The markings are from Model
Art, the proverbial spares box, with hand-sprayed roundels on the wing. It
represents a Spitfire of the Groupe de Chasse I/4 “Dauphine” stationed in
French Indochina sometime in the late 1940s.”
