Nice choice Al, the Seafire XV is a favorite of mine as well and offers a much broader variety of schemes. It would probably be hard to locate but Scale R/C Modeler ran an article many, many years ago on a couple of gents who built Seafires out of the Platt kit. There are several Seafire XV survivors around the world so I'm sure somebody somewhere has done a walkaround type pictorial of one. I noticed that none of the Aero Details series of books on the Spit covered the Seafire variants so it is my hope that they will release a volume dedicated to them eventually. I know at least one of the plastic model companies, Hobbycraft I think, makes a 1:48 scale kit of the XV as well which may be a viable source for color documentation. Love to see a thread on it when you get started!

PS- This one is being restored to fly by Amjet at Anoka County Airport in Blaine, Minnesota.
