Planning on building a 1/48 Airfix Spitfire Mk. Vb as the plane of RCAF P/O McNair, D.F.C.—AB264 (RAF 249 Sqn.) In my research, I have come across a number of suggestions as to what colors/paint mixes will produce the most accurate blue-grey camo color. That same research also turned up a number of discussions as to the underside color, too (RAF Sky Type “S”, Sky Blue, Mediterranean Blue, and, per the Airfix Instructions, Humbrol 90) For the hell of it, thought I'd lob these questions to the group in the hopes of additional insight and answers: 1. Has anyone here built a Malta Spit like this one? 2. If so, what paints/mixes did you use to get the blue-grey color? 3. What color did you settle on for the underside color? 4. What resources did you consult? 5. Is this one of those topics, due to lack of hard evidence to say otherwise, where modelers are allowed a fair amount of creative license in their painting choices for this particular color? Thank you in advance.

I finally finished my Spitfire Vb yesterday, having struggled to find a decent matt varnish. I thoroughly enjoyed this kit, except for the landing gear.
