I’m working on a Spitfire MkIIIV . It’s an Arii kit. For the first time, I used paper masks when painting the camouflage pattern . It turned out pretty good , I think. The directions are not very helpful on which colors to use. I’m not sure about what color of yellow to use on the leading edges. Is it insignia yellow, or is closer to orange yellow? Or would the yellow leading edges be correct for this airplane? The directions are of no help, and I haven’t found much info on this Spitfire with The ZX M code on the side.

If it was used overseas I'm not sure it had the leading edge yellow. I'll have to hit the books

Good discussion here...https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234991815-yellow-leading-edge-paint-on-spitfire-wings/

Thank you all for the replies. After reading the britmodeller discussion, I’m kind of leaning toward not putting the yellow on this one and doing some better preplanning for the Spitfire MkIX I’m considering. I appreciate your time in replying to my question.
