You could bougth this in many good hobby e-shops in EU. Finally I don't use this panel, and do it hand painted. In Airfix kit this part is less visible, and original part need to glue viewfinder over panel, so I decide to use original part.

@fiveten @johnb @tcinla Thank you! I am trying to get the best out of this kit.

Wow! Looking superb, my friend @lis!

@stephen-w-towle @eb801 @fiveten @johnb @tcinla Pre-shaiding. I think I will make second coat of preshiding in Dark earth camo to symulate effect of repainted surface with shades of old paint.

I didn't like it completely and tweaked the lines a bit

Next step was old Dark Earth paint under main coat of Middle (or Light) Stone. If we can trust producer of the Extradecals sheet plane was field repainted from day fighter scheme.

A blue sky is nice, but your blue sky Spitfire is even nicer, Lis @lis
