    @Habu12, what was the paints and process you used for these two beauties? This is exactly how I would like mine to turn out.

    Oh man...ummm...I honestly forgot, it was years ago now...

    I think it was TMM enamel RAF Dark Green, and RAF Medium Sea Gray. I preshade with Mr. Surfacer Black 1500, and add the base colors on top, varying for effect. Then I weathered the stains with Tamiya weathering sets A,B,C,D after a coat of Dullcote. Then I add another coat of Dullcote to seal it.

    Am I reading this correctly? You have to cut the wings to change the parts to the earlier smooth L/E? So I am guessing that Airfix haven't moulded a new wing or engineered it so that the L/E was separate? Hmm.

    Yup. The new leading edges are on the outboard panels of the wings. This was pretty evident I. The F.6 release, as the cutaway lines were already molded in.

  3. I’ve been asked what paints I used. Ask and you shall receive:
    The blue is Testors MM enamel Cobalt Blue. 
    Alclad II shades; fuselage-aluminum and duralumin. 
    Rudder and elevators-white aluminum.
    Flaps and ailerons-airframe aluminum.
    Bottom wing plate- hi-shine plus aluminum.
    Wings-Tamiya lacquer LP-38 flat aluminum. 
    All of it was primed with Mr. Surfacer Black 1500.
