Spitfire Mk.IX Trainer ML407 "Grace" - A tribute to a fine man, his family and their machine.
« on: October 17, 2024, 05:48:43 PM »
Hello all again.
Here I have made Spitfire OU-V ML407, better known as the "Grace Spitfire", restored and owned by the Grace family at Sywell Aerodrome.
I have made this as a tribute to Nick Grace, Carolyn Grace and most recently, Richard Grace, who passed only this Tuesday due to cancer.
The aviation world has lost a truly spectacular, intelligent and fine man, and we must remember him, his parents and their legacy, while also looking forward to the future. My thoughts are with his wife, sisters and children + anyone related.
Here are some screens of the spit over Duxford:

Thanks a lot for a nice skin and a tribute to the man flying the plane !

A question, please : we have so many variants of the Spit MkIX, with at least 2 different incompatible 3d... in which folder must this skin go ? Thanks in advance for the information !

Any of the new Mk.VIII style mk.ix spits, which on my install end in "-D", e.g. Spitfire Mk.IXc M61-D

Hope this helps

I thought the roundel of the fuselage might be a little higher.

But when I looked at the actual photo below, I could see that the eddyt' skin was accurate.

Thank you for the nice skin !!
