Application Tips and Recommended Products
For optimal decal application and to achieve a "blending in" effect with the model surface, it is recommended to use specialized decal solutions (e.g., softening and setting liquids). These products are available in the Model Chemistry section and significantly facilitate the application process, eliminating silvering and improving adhesion to irregular surfaces.
For a complete finish of your Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX model, it is worth considering the use of model paints in colors corresponding to the historical camouflage schemes of aircraft operating in North Africa in 1943. Recommended colors for RAF desert camouflage are:
Upper surfaces:
Middle Stone
Dark Earth
Lower surfaces:
Azure Blue
Cockpit interior:
Interior Grey-Green
