RN Firefly Mk 1 Camouflage - Hard Edge or Soft

[Calum]

Currently building a Special Hobby 48 scale Early Firefly Mk 1 and am getting close to paint.  (see here)

 

What is the consensus on if the Camouflage in the EDSG /Dark Slate grey over sky scheme as to whether this would have had a hard edge or soft edge?

 

Thanks in advance

From pictures I went hard edge but as TSS is quite low contrast it is difficult to see..

Same as pretty much every British built aircraft of the time: generally hard with a hint of very tight overspray between the two upper camo colours. If you can replicate this, then give it a try, if you're not sure, a hard edge will be more realistic than an excessively wide overspray.

Hard edge between upper and lower surfaces

Interesting to observe possible different positions of flaps in air to air sequences close to end of this movie
