I have just recieved a set of Montex super masks for the Hobby Boss Spitfire mk Vb to do the aircraft flown by F/Lt Eric S Lock ,611 Squadron , July 1941
The paint chart calls for the undeer surface to be painted Sky.
The Hobby boss painting guide calls for the green / brown Spit to have a Sky Blue undersurface so i purchased a tin of White Ensign Sky Blue BS1 ennamel.
This, when it arrived was not quite whaat i was expecting .
I think i was expecting something a little less blue and alittle bit more greenish
When the masks arrived the following day the colours seem to closely match the tin lid.
After a bit of googling i understand that there is a colour Sky type s which is more of a pale greeny blue and it is likely that the spinner and fuselarge band may be in this lighter colour with the undersurface sky blue
I notice that John Wilkes has usedGunze sangyo H74 sky for his build in model Airplane international (Dec 2011)
Please any ideas anyone
