Cheers lads It's not really that good Dan, it looks better in that pic than in the flesh/plastic!

I know I'm always bashing on about White Ensign, but I find their paint brilliant. I don't work for them, honest!

I used Dark Earth, Middle Stone, Azure Blue & Dull Red on that spit.

Link here White Ensign Models (Click on Complete Catalogue)

They also do paint and accessories for ships and armour, but I think their main business is in the ship modelling world.

Just looking at their range again I see they've added a range of RAAF paints too, wasn't there the last time I ordered some paint from them!

All is fine Steve.Don't worry. I suggest picture uplading of maximum 830 pixels in width, It will allow to watch them on a screen fully.

Nice Spit! What scale is that Steve? The canopy makes me think it might be the Hasegawa 1/32nd kit.

It is indeed the Hasegawa kit. Done as the oft repainted and repaired BR487 (AN*V) as flown by our friends of 417 (city of Windsor) squadron R.C.A.F.
She looked like this.

Beaut pic, and you've done a great job replicating the worn and patched paintwork.

Thank you gents. I hope my rather inept photography will help TheGonz sort his colours out.
Cheers

Hell Il change to enamels to get those colours - Gonna order some soon , whats the names of the colours you got?
Check out the Life Color Acrylics. They have a line specifically for WW2 British Aircraft (including those three specific colors). 4.70$ per bottle from tankratsafv depot - free shipping to the continental US.


I used some their Italian Interior Green to get a couple of kits started and this stuff is brilliant. Flows like a dream, clean up is a breeze. I'm about to order a bit more.

It's a photograph. I believe it was once made into a poster, though I've never seen one. I'd love to know who the pilot was but had no luck there either.
