That looks like some very succesful days at the airbrush, Michael @michaelt
The 'salt method' turned out very nice.
Definitely need to give this method a try as well.

And it is done with 5h 34 min to spare...

(And thanks for the comments, @fiveten and @johnb).
I'll take more photos an put it on the headlines in the new year.
(Happy New Year, everyone).

That will be a great start of 2022 to see this one on the headlines, Michael @michaelt
Great looking Spitfire.
Happy New Year and all the best.

Great that you startef painting the second Spit, my friend @michaelt!
Looking good!

The under surface colour and the RAAF camo that goes under the fuselage roundels - the yellow outer ring of the RAF roundel was painted out with RAAF colours and Eduard supplies masks for this.

Nice job, my friend @michaelt!

Upper surface camo added.
The tail will be painted RAAF colours of Dark Sea Grey and Foliage Green.
The rudder will remain in RAF colours.
I painted the Sky rear fuselage band because it shows through worn RAAF paint in a photo.
Similarly, the red of the fin flash shows through the worn white over-painting so I've painted the blue ready to be masked off and will add the white and red next.
