    Decal time. But I'm not satified about painting. It turns too Dark, and desert scheme is low visible (one hope is that Lynch Spitfire was really Dark on photo). I think at this build Extra Dark Sea Grey looks not smooth as I want.

    From the picture it looks great and the desert scheme is still visible, Lis @lis
    Maybe you are a bit too critical to yourself.

    @johnb @fiveten I'm glad that you like my job. The smoothness of the surface is certainly influenced by the number of layers of paint. There are four layers on the top surfaces, an undercoat, presheiding, a desert pattern and a final Extra Dark Sea gray. The lower surfaces, on the other hand, came out perfectly smooth. Although there is probably also the pigmentation of the paint here, which in the case of Azure Blue is perfect.

    edit: I found interesting Painting scheme of G. Beurling early mark Vc (He was probably shoot down on this plane. His famost T@L was later aircraft) - mabye for later projects?

    Decals look nice, Lis @lis
    From the picture I cannot tell which one was broken. So definitely a good patch.
