Sean,
I had a similar situation with the undersurface decals on my Mk V, a few cuts and more decal solution straightened that out.

Right guys I have a Serous Dilema here
i'm nearly done , all i got to do is paint the tips of the props , and assemble the canopy , and paint the cannons
as you know this kit has raised panel lines
i really like this plane as it is with no weathering
but to make it look a bit realistic it needs weathering
so what do you think guys

Well Sean....hmmm....from what I can see it looks pretty dang good! Really! Your flyers took off from grass fields didn't they? I don't know how much time was allowed to clean a plane all the time. I think it looks pretty realistic.
Have fun,
Bill

Sean,
Excellent build, the weathering is not over done, the would look like this in real life.
Just a tip for future refs:-
The undercarriage legs, inside of undercarriage doors, wells and sidewalls are the undersurface colour, only the roof [aka undersuface of top wing] is the primmer green/grey.
All the info I've collated for the Hurricane, including all the detailed pix, PM me your e-mail addy and I'll send it over for you.

WOW!!
I think your Spit really fits the image. I bet these poor planes were pushed way beyond their limits in defense of their country. Yours looks just like a tough ol' veteran
fighter. Did u paint with a brush? If u did, your brushing is better than my ABing!!! 
LOL 
Congratulations,
BillP.S. nice pix also!!! ;D

Thanks for your kind words Rob, glad you like it. I will get the stripes on eventually. For now I'm going to crack on with my Malta build.
Regards,
