Not a criticism, since I am sure the kit instructions and the decal instructions never mentioned this, but on 15 August 1941, the RAF went over from the Dark Green/Dark Earth/Sky camouflage to Dark Green/Ocean Grey/Sea Grey Medium camouflage paints. Many of the DG/DE airplanes were field painted in a mixture of Night Black and White, which varied wildly in shade of grey from unit to unit till they started getting factory-painted replacements.
Not to worry though, Robert Taylor got this wrong in his Eagle Squadron painting, which has them in October 1941 in the earlier scheme. 🙂
Very nice Spitfire. Who's paint did you use?
The colors are Model Master.
Best Regards

The spitfire is one of my favorite planes. Yours looks great!
Hans Peter,
I love it. The Spitfire to me, is like the Corsair. I have never seen one that I did not like. Yours is outstanding.
