Jeff T Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Beautiful work! Im thinking that would not be the easiest colour to paint, you have done a superb job. Cheer's, Jeff. Wackyracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 A very fine rendition of both the Spitfire and the scheme. Your pink really looks like a tactical colour whereas some interpretations make the pink so saturated they look more like a Barbie doll accessory.

MikeC Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Beautifully done. I would comment on the colour, but others above have said it all above, it looks just right. The weathering looks appropriate, too, there's a photo in one of the Ventura PR Spitfire books that looks just like that.

mozart Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 A lovely looking Spit Aaron, and a very effective display base......more info about how you achieved that please! Wackyracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Indeed, the trick to get a correct scale PRU pink is to add some light grey and not simply mix red and white. Wackyracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, from recollection it was 3/4 pot of white, 2 drips of red, 1/4 pot of off white and 5 drips of grey. Very scientific my painting methods MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
