I was nearly quickly spraying on all spitfires but i have re-think and changed my mind to make sure test paint surface conditions results - NO GOOD!  First time - humbrol 125ml satin clear varnish is defective return to hobby superstore / supplier online. quickly refund my money back - very smooth without delay time so customer service satisfaction - excellent. If sprayed all on spitfires definitely nightmare  then all throw in the bin then THE END! so I`m very lucky.  |

Dodged a bullet there Jeremy! Good call on testing it out first before committing it to the Spits.

Bill - thanks yes lots inspection and check up everything too much in my mind ha. Andy - Yes different camo patterns Type A and B that the RAF used two different camouflage schemes on its Spitfire "A" and a "B" pattern. The one basically looks like a mirror image of the other! Cheers buddy! Jimmydel - Thank you so much! Last one of 11th spitfire.  Aftermarket BoB decals set arrived on at my door. My decision choice is good one camo markings for last of 11th spitfire.  Painted camo by Hand-brushing then next clear varnish paint overall last of 11th spitfire by tonight.

You've got your work all cut out for you! Only way to go is one set at a time...and don't let your fingers get all wrinkled up in the process. |

Bill - Bob - Thank you.   Airfix`s decal four roundels - faulty - printer color alignment.  After-market BoB decal set - faulty - clear cover alignment on the roundels. One week later, I received new both - by replacement. The weekend`s progress - decals applied eleven spitfires.............. Total 603 decals included markings and stencils so 53 decals to go!    |
