Nicely done so far!

Looks like you have everything in order and under control.

Here's how I get my colors custom mixed. Somewhere in the world is the object I want to recreate. Someone takes a picture, then puts it on the internet where I find it. I take a screen grab, and get an "average color because the picture is slightly different dots and put it in Photoshop. I then get an image of a paint sample and compare them. Hopefully I'm pretty close to what a tin of PRU Blue from RAF stock rooms would be. The mix is XF63 with a few drops of X4 blue. We have the frame, a tire, the Spitfire door, and the seat. I made paper belts by printing an image of seatbelts and adjusting the size.

I like your logical process and have done belts the same way. Looking at your pink, I was thinking the RAF Blue could be a little darker.

Can't really comment on the colour mix as I've yet to do a PRU subject. I'm not even sure the vehicles and aircraft were painted the same colours.

I was thinking more of the Land Rover blue Andy. PRU Blue is more of a blue grey.

Yeah but apparently Alan was shooting for PRU Blue: "Hopefully I'm pretty close to what a tin of PRU Blue from RAF stock rooms would be."

Agree. I initially miss read the post, hence the PRU paint post.
