Hello all

I have decided to use Humbrol 163, dark green, with a view to using Humbrol 165
for the top surface but which grey for the underside and is 165 too light
for the upper surfaces?

I've chosen and tried Humbrol's aerosol paints and this is my preferred choice-great
paint finish.

There seems to be a lot of opinions on the subject of the use
of paint in the modelling world, just thought I'd see who's using what!

Thank you all.

Hi Trev

Thanks, Ill have a look. It seems there were an array of colours used and I think if I paint the Spitfire near to as it would have looked, unless someone is an expert scrutinising the paint job, I don't think it will do any harm.
It's going to look good either way!

Thanks.

Regards.

Alan
