This is a variation on James Richards'(re-working of James Yoon's) great red nosed Mk VIII. He did the lettering for this one and I made the rest of the changes.  Of course, I could not have done any of it if he had not created the skin to begin with.

This skin was inspired by a photo in the Warbird History Book: SPITFIRE.  The caption below the photo reads as follows:

One of the first aircraft to land at Alto Airfield, Corsica, in April 1944 was this Number 154 Squadron Spitfire IXc.  Alto was a critical forward operating base, later well used by 57th Fighter Group Thunderbolts in keeping the Allied push going in Italy.

Hope you like it.
