    Indeed. Maybe I am just not looking hard enough but I have never seen a period colour photo of a repainted RAAF spitfire in these colours

    Went back in with my Mr. Hobby PS770 which has a .18mm nozzle/needle and free handed the Forrest Green Camo to give it a bit of a soft edge which I suspect it had after its re-paint.

    Nice airbrushing on that last go around, David. Learned something as well regarding RAAF paint colors.

    G’day David (@totalize),
    I have no association with SMS apart from being a customer, so I can’t say where they ship to.
    Good idea to feather the boundary between colours, too.

    Finally got the black ring done on the spinner. It took me 3 attempts to get it to the point where it was acceptable to me. I used a PE template that you use for scribing access panels on aircraft.
