**** DONE: GB-57 1/48 US Spitfire Mk.IXc - WW2 Foreign Service

Another unique Spit for our viewing pleasure. Did I miss it or what's the story behind the light grey patches on the uppers?

No you didn't miss it, was wondering when someone would ask that very thing....see my short notes on the attached PDF.

and thanks again for your comments.

Would this count as a Spitfire in foreign service?

Interesting analysis. Definitely something going on there.

Plastic stencil, round hole the right size to match the British Roundel laid on the wing for correct position, a medium grey Pastel powdered onto some sandpaper, followed by the use of a cut down small brush to rub inside the stencil to create the round "painted" on circular pattern, onto the Matte paint surface...simple and precise.

Mk.IX shown...View attachment 716927View attachment 716928View attachment 716929and Mk.V both now have their Gloss Coat...

Wayne wish I had your Patience and skillset with that airbrush.
