Ok Guys I been researching my Project and found My Hurri Pilot for my project whick shows him next to the nose of one I am doing so I have a Histerical figure his names Bill Dunn He flew with the 71st Eagle Squadron. He then went to spit MK IIa's and I want to build my spit to represent his Spitfire. I have 2 problems:
1: How hard will it be to convert my Mick Reeves MK IX plans to a MK IIa and what are the differences?
2: I am trying to find any info on the color scheme of the plane and any possible markings. I know on the Hurri the left side (sitting in cockpit) Had the Eagles Squadron Emblem and the Right side had the Boxing Eagle I am figuring that was standard on all the squadrons planes and would it be on the spit too?
Heres the Info I have on the plane:
Bill Dunn's Spitfire Mk II P7308 was part of a 100 Spitfire force escorting 9 Blenheim bombers attacking the steel works at Lille On 27 August 1941. the entire info can be found at

Any help or color pics of the plane would be appreciated. Below is a pic of his spit.
