Hi Erik--
This sounds very cool...I've done this precise thing before, a number of times (but with logos and the like on large panels rather than airplanes directly on a wall), and it works very well.
I do aircraft paintings as a hobby and always start with a pencil line drawing that then gets refined and, when I'm satisfied with it, is transferred with carbon paper onto the hardboard or whatever surface I'm using. I keep the drawings for possible later re-use, and I know I have at least one of a Spitfire IXe. Should be able to send you a scan of it...email me off board. (I may also have one from a different angle of a PR.XI, which resembles a late IX).
Cheers
Steve
